FormscanBy Tom Weekes - AIME DESJY will be suited by the forecast rain and has form in smart handicap chases. A course bumper winner, his chasing ability seems better than his hurdling form and having run well in the 24-runner Topham Chase at Aintree, again ran well in the bet365 Gold Cup at Sandown. He stays well and has a nice weight. Top weight Salvador Ziggy's rider claims 7lb and while he pulled up the hot National Hunt Chase at the Cheltenham festival, had previously finished second in September's Kerry National. He goes on summer soft but would ideally prefer good. Ex-hunter chaser Romeo Magico debuts in handicaps wearing a first-time hood and can compete from a low weight.
An extended handicap steeplechase for four years old and upwards that have run at least three times in steeplechases up to and including 19th May 2024
Penalties - Winner of a steeplechase or steeplechases after calculation of the handicap shall carry any penalty or penalties which may be allotted by the Handicapper.
