CHICKLEMIX stumbled on landing and couldn't stay on her feet at Fakenham last time. A winner at the same track earlier in the year, she has a good a chance as any in a wide-open contest if putting in a clear round. A winner at Plumpton in March, Manshoor is 7lb higher today but fit from racing on the Flat, while Jezza may do better on his handicap debut. Zen Factor can race off the same mark as when landing a novices' handicap at Huntingdon back in February, but Beau Fighter has been dropped 6lb after a poor reappearance run at Chepstow. Rigadin De Beauchene would have preferred softer ground for his reappearance.
