Verdict
CHAMBARD looks to have a good opportunity dropping back down in class. He won in heavy going at Exeter last month and has found only one too good in both subsequent starts in Class 3 company. Beaufort West also faces an easier task than of late and cheekpieces are applied but both Poldark Cross and Call Off The Dogs failed to complete last time with the latter having his first outing since pulled-up at this fixture last year. For Langy makes his chasing debut after placing over timber at Huntingdon.
