Verdict

SHADOW CHASER promises to be a better chaser than hurdler judged on his opening second to Uptown Harry at Newcastle and from these revised terms coupled with his unexposed profile, he's taken to reverse the form. Rob Roy Macgregor, a former stablemate of the selection, can also get involved.

7	C&D winner not the force of old but fared better than of late from a mark that's fallen a long way when second at Musselburgh in December and he then went one better from 4 lb out of the weights at Newcastle, drawing clear from Shadow Chaser. Effectively 8 lb higher but he did that readily. 2nd Pick 7 Uptown Harry (Ire) Jockey: Charlie Maggs Trainer: Jane Walton J: Charlie Maggs T: Jane Walton	99	-	-	-	17%
