Verdict
HAVACHOC ran right away from his rivals in a classified event at Wolverhampton and gamely followed up back in a handicap at Southwell. That was a stiffer test than he faces here and a 3lb rise might not prevent the four-year-old from completing the hat-trick. The code-switching Achnamara is well handicapped based on past exploits on the Flat and he is a strong contender. Free Pic and Dancing Bay complete the shortlist.
Expert View Verdict
Havachoc is on a hat-trick following wins at Wolverhampton and Southwell, with a 3lb rise for the latter looking fair. He's in with a chance of a hat-trick for sure, but FREE PIC made a pleasing return to the Flat when fourth at Southwell last time and she retains some potenial on the AW. She's just favoured to Havachoc as the selecion. Highland Harvey is respected also back in a handicap having returned to form when runner-up in a classified at Wolverhampton last time.
