At The Races Verdict

A tricky handicap for punters to solve and it might be worth sticking with VANTHEMAN, who is clearly on good terms with himself judged on a gutsy Newcastle success. Intervention boasts winning C&D form and cannot be overlooked, while Aberama Gold has a similar profile and performed well for third last time out at Chelmsford over this trip. Keep an eye on Monks Dream too.

Expert View Verdict

Stanley Spencer was by no means out of things when hampered last time and he still appeals as being on a competitive mark while he likes it here. The same can be said of BETSEN, however, and he's preferred as the number one choice. He sprang a 40-1 shock at the course on his stable debut, having formerly been trained in Ireland, and things just haven't panned out in two starts since. He's been eased 1lb and having Billy Loughnane in the saddle for the first time can only be a good thing.  Aberama Gold is admirably consistent and can be expected to put up another good showing, although he may prove vulnerable for win purposes.
