A small but competitive field goes to post for this handicap chase with many in form rivals in opposition including Audity, Tamango and Lord Maizey and we will take a chance on Audity who won well last time out when defeating Sun Of A Gun he is still well weighted on his form of a couple of seasons ago and with conditions in his favour he will be hard to beat. It will be interesting to see if Tamango turns up here as he ran yesterday but if he does he should not be far away. Lord Maizey is one of the least exposed in the field and is open to plenty of improvement but his best form to date has comer on very soft ground so for that reason her is opposed on this occasion. Of the remainder Sharpastrizam has dropped to a handy mark and could go well but he may just need this after an 132 absence so we are happy to side with Audity.
