Verdict
Chifa is the only recent winner in the line-up but, as his profile reflects, he is difficult to catch right. He's the obvious one if on a going day. Luscifer houses some of the better form on offer but that was achieved on the all-weather during the winter and recent performances have been less encouraging. This is also a first start on Turf since October for the Harris gelding and he's best watched. Chetan's last victory came in 2020 but Tony Carroll's veteran tends to run his race more often than not and should go well. However, GRANDSTAND is just preferred as he gone quite well here the last twice and Callum Hutchinson's 5lb claim could prove decisive.
