Tracked leading pair, went right 4th, left in close 2nd at 5th, led 9th, made rest, good jump 2 out, driven last, stayed on well run-in tchd 16/1 and tchd 22/1
Chozen (4/6), Cousin Oscar (11/8), Free Range (20/1)
A poor turnout and almost certain to be a tactical race with all three of the declared runners more than happy to go forward early. Cousin Oscar generally doesn't deliver at the business end of his races and has become disappointing, so with the dropped in trip Free Range thoroughly unappealing, the probable winner is the Tim Vaughan-trained CHOZEN.
