Verdict

BARAZA ended last season on a high in winning at Stratford and he can make a winning return to action in this competitive handicap chase. Tom George's charge has to defy a 4lb rise for that latest success but he appeared to have a bit in hand on that occasion and with the runner-up scoring since he is taken to get the better of Keep Moving who has disappointed so far on softer surfaces and encounters good ground for the first time since joining this yard. Volvalien has the ground and trip to suit today and can step up on his recent hurdles return by finishing third today.
  1. Baraza
  2. Keep Moving
  3. Volvalien
