Chapmanshype has not stopped improving this year but is now 22lb higher than when winning his first handicap at Ffos Las in May and there are worries that this may be a step too far, though he appears to have the beating of Constancio on the form book. Stoney Mountain won the maiden on this card 12 months ago and ran well with credit after until finding the company too hot in the Albert Bartlett in March. Hey Bud could be interesting if ready for his return to action but VOODOO DOLL is now on a lower mark than when successful twice last year and Isobel Williams’ mount probably ran better than the final results suggest last month.
