In depth
Verdict
Chilworth Screamer made a promising start behind The Wee Lass at Taunton but finished tailed off last on her only subsequent start at Sandown a fortnight ago. She receives 10lb from UTOPIAN but it's unlikely to prevent Nick Gifford's charge, a winner over 1m4f in France before a facile victory over 2m3f here last month, from completing a hat-trick before going on to better things. Richard Phillips' Bright Light is out of a winning hurdler and looks the type to do well when facing a set of obstacles.
