Verdict

The progressive WILD WEST WIND can register a third victory in four starts over fences by taking this competitive looking handicap chase. The selection remains open to improvement having finished third on his final outing of last season and should appreciate today's forecast heavy going having won on it in the past. Shotgun Paddy can step up on last months seasonal debut by finishing runner-up on this occasion while Buywise can claim third on his return to fences.
  1. Wild West Wind
  2. Shotgun Paddy
  3. Buywise
