Verdict

CHIDSWELL (NAP) has improved with experience over fences and bids for hat-trick having followed up an earlier success at Sedgefield with victory at Ayr last time. He’s been raised a further 6lb but there looks more to come from Nicky Richards' charge. Mr Fitzroy looked unlucky on his chasing bow when caught on the line at Plumpton and should go well again while Vengeur De Guye has also found only one too good on his last couple of outings. Next Sensation won at Newton Abbot in between his more usual frustrating efforts but Ubaltique failed to cope with a rise in the weights last time having won at Haydock before that.
