In depth
Verdict
This will not take much winning and Chinkara, who was only just touched off at Doncaster, looks to have a fine opportunity to lose his maiden tag. Speedwell, who was very green on his debut, can be expected to know more this time, while Caliwag, who has been jumping without success, had already shown he handles this track and could run into a place. However, the biggest threat may come from Mcqueen, who shaped with promise behind Dutch Gold over course and distance earlier this month. That was his first outing for three months and he can be expected to strip fitter here.
