Lexington Grace recorded a third win of the season at Epsom in August so should handle this switchback track, though is more exposed than some. Her yard also run Lady Godiva, who is making her handicap debut. Moseeb was only third off this mark at Chelmsford but Tiepolo has been placed twice on this track and Warsaan will appreciate a return to Turf. CHAI CHAI was always travelling best last time at Chester so a 5lb rise is not a great concern and Andrew Balding’s improving top weight can score again.
