In depth
Verdict
THE KING OF RYHOPE made a successful debut over fences when winning over today’s trip at Chepstow and is taken to defy a rise in the weights. Knowsley Road made a less impressive chasing bow when fading badly at Newbury, though better is expected, but Jack In The Box has switched yards since falling at Fairyhouse at the start of the year. Lubeat Foras has placed over hurdles but returns from a lengthy absence.
