Verdict
Impression Chic beat three rivals at Fontwell when making a winning debut over fences while Dr Shirocco scored at Hexham back in June and Marajman won at Southwell during the summer. Perth winner Thunder In Milan was let down by his jumping when pulled up at Ayr but KAP CHIDLEY found only one too good at Uttoxeter on his seasonal debut. This shorter trip will suit and he has plenty of scope for further progress.
