In depth
Verdict
Chadswell, returning from a break, stays well but may just need this outing, while Johnston's Art, a narrow winner at Perth, can race off a 3lb higher mark. The latter does not look an easy ride and Richard McGrath will do well to get him to follow up. This looks best left to Contract Scotland, who has been in good form over hurdles and is taken to improve for the step up in trip.
