Stevie Thunder is upped in class off a higher mark having won over a longer trip at Kempton while Zain Eagle and Spirit Of The Law have looked in the handicapper's grip since scoring over 1m2f on the Turf. Both The Lock Master and Marcret have their own ideas about the game though both have the ability to figure if they feel like doing so. COME ON BLUE CHIP doesn't arrive in the best of form but his three previous wins on the all-weather came at this track and Paul D'Arcy's charge gets the nod to bounce back in his return to this venue.
