PENWORTHAM may bounce back to form from an ideal draw. He showed his turn was coming when noted staying on to some effect here on his penultimate start and has frequently gone well here in the past. Stable companion Gabrial The Tiger also enjoys the Chester experience while the consistent Harry Beau enters calculations from an inside draw with trip and ground in his favour. Saint Equiano has improved with each of his three outings this term and is another who faces his optimum conditions while it will be interesting to see if there is any money for sole three-year-old Ginbar, a course winner who faces the starter for the first time since being gelded. Redrosezorro also has each-way claims from a good draw.
