Land League (3/1), Guerrilla Tactics (7/2), Vendredi Trois (9/2), Net De Treve (11/2), Leith Hill Lad (6/1), Ballycrystal Court (15/2), Fr Humphrey (20/1)

A tricky and fairly uninspiring Class 4 handicap chase for stayers. It's notable that the Sedgefield-based handler Rebecca Menzies send Ballycrystal Court on the long journey south, while a return to this 3m trip could potentially show Land League in a slightly more favourable light. However, for very small stakes the nine-year-old GUERRILLA TACTICS gets the tentative nod after a fair run over hurdles at Newton Abbot. He appears to be steadily working back to peak form following a nine-month break and history has shown that he's perfectly adept over the larger obstacles.
