Chelsea Mick was still beaten 10 lengths despite finishing runner-up at Chester last time, but he has every chance on his earlier second over track and trip. However, OBLITEREIGHT also finished second on his latest start at Kempton and Bill Knight's charge is just preferred with further progress likely. Hi There is more exposed and a place is probably the best he can manage, while the remainder can be safely ignored unless one of the newcomers is strongly supported in the betting.
