Race Tip

Everything points to PROTEKTORAT (6) being tough to beat. Racing for trainer Dan Skelton and proved a facile winner of this race twelve months ago while subsequently was an excellent third off a big weight attempting a competitive handicap chase at Cheltenham. Since undergone a wind-op and looks hard to oppose in receipt of 7lb. MATATA (2) may prove the main danger having seemingly relished the step up in trip when landing a decent handicap at Cheltenham seventeen days ago. The G1-winning novice chaser HANDSTANDS (1) gives weight all round. Might find this easier than when fourth in the G1 Betfair Chase. RESPLENDENT GREY (3) is next best.
