Verdict
Chasers Chance is easy to ignore in this but the other three could all win if at their best following a break. It's Like That has won off a higher mark in the past and his very accomplished amateur rider takes off a further 3lb but he doesn't always find a great deal off the bridle. TIM THE CHAIR had Exeter specialist Ammunition well behind when second over C&D on heavy ground in May and won at Uttoxeter on his next start. Only a seven-year-old, Emma Lavelle's charge has more scope than his rivals and can defy a new career-high mark.
