Verdict

ALPHA CAPTURE looked unlucky not to double his tally for 2026 when runner-up in a Chester claimer last time and can make amends off a lenient-looking mark now back in handicap company. Bell Shot took this contest in 2024 and is feared most on the back of a good Pontefract second, although in-form duo Tattie Bogle and Homestrait can also play a prominent role in this competitive handicap.
