There should be more to come from the lightly-raced Sioux Chieftain and Hear The Chimes has been threatening to take advantage of a tumbling mark recently. SALTO CHISCO only found too good at Perth after winning at Kempton so gets a tentative vote in a trick finale, though Little Pop won off this mark over fences at Southwell nine days ago and rates a danger. Londonia got off the mark over hurdles here a year ago and has won his last two, though a further 8lb rise may bring the grey’s run to a halt. Dusky Raider still has some scope and he’d appreciate fast ground more than most.
