Charming Fellow, September Moon and Super Road Train are three against the field in this handicap chase and the vote is given to Super Road Train. The selection won well last time out when beating Low Rector and although rising in the weights he again has conditions to suit and he is taken to defy the handicapper. September Moon rates the main danger on his latest second behind The King of Angels but he is rising in the weights without winning and is taken on with this in mind. Charming Fellow beat Be Telling when last seen but he may just need the run after a 367 day break. Super Revo could go well if his jumping holds up but that is a big if while Celtic Flow goes well fresh and could go well at a price but for the winner we return to the progressive Super Road Train.
