This slight step up in trip looks likely to suit SUNNYTAHLIATEIGAN based on his winning handicap debut at Fontwell last weekend. The selection stayed on well on that occasion to overhaul a rival who'd built up a sizeable advantage during the race and is unpenalised for that success here. Champion Chase ran well on handicap debut on his first outing on good ground here last time out and can put in another solid effort by claiming second ahead of Pongo Twistleton who drops in grade here on his first run since December.
