Verdict

A competitive little novices handicap chase in which a case can be made for just about all six runners. Narrow preference is for INSTANT REPLAY who gets weight from most of his rivals and won well here last time. He should stay. Top weight Cash Again is respected on his recent course win but is 9lb higher and will need to have improved, while Kilronnan Castle could be a danger to all stepping back up in trip. Romulus Du Donjohn and Paddling are not out of it either if things go thier way.
  1. Instant Replay
  2. Kilronan Castle
  3. Cash Again
