Verdict
Chavoy was winning a battle with Mister Marker when left clear at the last at Ayr. He's been upped 7lb for that success while Russe Blanc has been placed on a couple of occasions since winning at Exeter but is now 12lb higher in the weights. Hada Men is preferred having slipped down the handicap and going close at Chepstow last time but a chance is taken on TUTCHEC returning to form. Nicky Richards charge has failed to complete in both starts so far this year but finished third in last year's renewal off an 11lb higher mark and gets the nod on that form. Fill The Power is another back on a winning mark if at his best but Purcell's Bridge and Presented have something to prove now.
