ONE FORTY SEVEN looks capable of getting off the mark in this small field handicap chase. The selection represents a stable with a 30% strike-rate (8/27) in recent weeks and he can get the better of top weight Mont Royale who can put a disappointing latest effort behind him. Third place can go the way of the veteran Moorlands Jack.
