Verdict

Most of these are no stranger to the Northern 2m handicap chase circuit and it may be the chance that OLIVER’S GOLD needs to convert one of his runner-up slots into a win at long last now that he resides on a very attractive mark based on his old form. Civil Unrest deserves a mention as a dual C&D winner with Brian Hughes taking the ride (always a positive), he looks to be the main danger. The handicapper finally looks to have got Halycon Days under control but it won’t be a surprise if he can bounce back in a race that lacks much depth judged on recent form.
  1. Oliver's Gold
  2. Civil Unrest
  3. Halcyon Days
