Verdict

Plenty in with a squeak but the vote goes to MCGREGORS CHARGE, who continues to shape well in defeat (has finished runner-up on 3 of 5 starts in this sphere) and this increase in trip could unlock that bit extra required to open his account. Lucky Rose heads up the opposition on the back of her recent Newton Abbot success, with Thais Toir and Zoffalee taken to fight out minor honours.

7	Still to win but arrives in good nick, finding one too strong for the third time from 5 starts over fences in 14-runner handicap at Worcester (23f, good to firm) 3 weeks ago.

4	Fair maiden hurdler who progressed again to get off the mark on just her third start over fences at Newton Abbot (25.8f, good) just over 3 weeks ago, proving tenacious having been up with the pace throughout. 4 lb rise looks fair and she should make a bold bid to follow up. 2nd Pick 4 Lucky Rose (Ire) Jockey: James Davies Trainer: Noel Williams J: James Davies T: Noel Williams	100	-	-	-	17%

9	Hasn't set the world alight under Rules (0-18 overall), but he dotted up on his debut between the flags following a year off in May and produced an excellent effort from 6 lb out of the weights when second in 8-runner handicap chase at this course (24f, good) recently. Player with a repeat. 3rd Pick 9 Thais Toir (Fr) Jockey: David Noonan Trainer: Adrian Wintle J: David Noonan T: Adrian Wintle	98	-	-	-	15%
