Rag Week, Tino and Grey Ciseaux are the three to concentrate on in this handicap chase and the vote is given to Rag Week. The selection won well on his chasing debut when defeating Our Man Dennis at Southwell last time. He is sure to benefit from the experience and with if the forecast rain arrives he will be hard to beat. Tino rates the main danger but his best form is on a faster surface and he will find this harder under his penalty. Grey Ciseaux was well behind Tino last time out and although he is better off at the weights he will need to show more sparkle to trouble the principles. The remainder have shown very little of late although River Trix has dropped to a handy mark so is worth noting in the market, but we are happy to stick with Rag Week who remains unexposed and is the one to beat.
