A competitive handicap chase. It could pay to side with the unexposed TOSS OF A COIN (1) who lost little in defeat when runner-up on chasing debut at Uttoxeter last month. Can take a step forward for that outing and this course is expected to suit. Receives the nod to defy a 2lb nudge up in the weights. PACHACUTI (11) went down gallantly when second over slightly further at Wincanton a fortnight ago. Respect with first-time blinkers applied. Previous course and distance winner ENJOY YOUR LIFE (9) finished a good second at Chepstow on return. May go well off the same mark. REGARDE (8) needs to be included.
