In depth
Verdict
CHIEF ENTERTAINER was beaten less than a length at Catterick a week ago and a similar effort should see him in the firing-line once again. Canford Belle and Valiant Faith were both placed in the same race at Chepstow last time but were five lengths behind the winner while Eglantyne Dream may finish closer having dropped further in the weights. Zeebee, Mikiteri and Funny Oyster could all improve now handicapping for the first time.
