Cypress Grove bids to follow up his victory in this last year carrying 3lb more but is hard to predict nowadays. Charming Lad had Rivermouth and Brunette'Sonly well beaten when scoring over course and distance last month and got back to winning ways at Chepstow after being beaten at Ffos Las. But a line through Chepstow second Clubs Are Trumps gives him plenty to find with Roseneath, who in turn will have to overturn running with Silent Cliche at Huntingdon on Boxing Day. RED ANCHOR had Charming Lad and Brunette'sonly behind when scoring over this distance at Plumpton in March. Linda Jewell's stayer is fancied to confirm that running here and defy a 9lb hike in the ratings.
