CHAPTER AND VERSE has been struggling to get his head back in front but is back on a winning mark and this is the lowest grade handicap he's contested all year. Mike Murphy's charge looks set to take advantage after posting a good effort at Newmarket last time. Yojimbo has been in better form of late and can figure, while Willow Dancer is only 2lb higher than his win at Pontefract in August and he too has claims. Cape Rambler, Judd Street and Chevise have something to prove over this longer trip and Dare To Bare has done all his winning on the all-weather.
