Verdict

SOUL KALIBER can land this handicap chase for the Gordon Elliott yard who usually go well at this meeting The eight-year-old has had a torrid time of things this year but races off a mark he can be competitive from here in this company. Fairymount Boy and Peacocks Secret have a couple of negatives against them but look the best of the rest in a race that won't take a great deal of winning. The gallant veteran Honest Robber is worthy of consideration as is Swift who can go well at a price.
  1. Soul Kaliber
  2. Peacocks Secret
  3. Honest Robber
