Verdict
John Carr, who trains the selection in the first division of this, can complete a double via CHAPTER ELEVEN, who had three lengths to spare over Riotman over 2m3f here earlier this month with Assiduous back in fifth. He's 7lb higher and the runner-up can get a little closer on the revised terms but the winner won in good style and should confirm the form. Sean Airgead had run very well over 2m4f at Sligo before scoring there over the minimum trip. There's no reason why he shouldn't stay the extra and he looks a threat despite a big weight. The lightly-raced and progressive Ahead Ahead could prove best of the remainder.
