The veteran Sir Chauvelin finished ahead of stablemate Faylaq and also Dark Jedi when runner-up in last year’s renewal. Chillingham finished in front of Postileo when fourth at Ascot earlier and went close in this grade at Ripon last time but CITY STREAK won at Ascot on his first attempt at 1m4f. There looks more to come over the distance and he gets the vote. Struth is another arriving from Ascot having gone close in a lower grade contest while Beraz is also upped in class after winning over track and trip and the unexposed Paddy The Squire scored at Ayr last month. Hidden Dimples won a Listed race in France and makes her handicap debut for a new yard with a tongue-tie applied.
