In depth

Verdict

NOT SO SURE DICK won at Chepstow on his latest start and looks capable of following up with a conditional jockey negating a big chunk of his 9lb rise in the weights. His winning form looks superior to that of Pickworth, who scored at Southwell recently and is upped in class off a 6lb higher mark today. Chicklemix turned in a disappointing effort last month but Dr Finley has claims on his third over 2m here back in November. It's been some time since Good Faloue last posted a decent run and Chervonet has been beaten a distance on all five completed starts.
