Plus Jamais has struggled in three subsequent starts since scoring over track and trip back in February and a chance is taken on GOLD OPERA on his reappearance. He also won over course and distance with an eight-length success back in April and today’s opposition looks pretty weak. Some Reign had been thereabouts without threatening before refusing at the start at Wetherby a fortnight ago and has something to prove now but Chidswell should be sharper for last month’s outing at Ayr and is back on a winning mark.
