Be The Tops, All Sonsilver and Croc An Oir look the three to concentrate on in this handicap chase and the vote goes to Be The Tops. The selection has been in good form of late and won well last time out when defeating Frentzen and although he is rising in the weights he will be hard to beat under conditions that suit. All Sonsilver would rate the main danger on his best form but he tends to need a couple of runs to be seen at his best and he may need the run after a 154 day absence. Croc An Oir was second behind The Penny's Dropped last time out which comes from the same stable as the selection so he should know where he stands. Gold Kriek won well last time out when defeating Rock ford but this looks much more competitive and he is overlooked here. Of the remainder Moscow Leader is from a shrewd yard and is worth noting in the market but for the winner we return to Be The Tops.
