Verdict
COLLODI landed a double over 1m2f last year, including a win in soft going at Chepstow. He hasn’t raced since December but Monzino and Never Say, who both have more recent outings, continue to struggle and Neil Mulholland’s charge can make a winning reappearance. Gabrial The Duke and Chant also return to action with the former preferred as he tumbled down the weights last year and the latter would prefer faster ground.
