In depth
Verdict
CHAMIREY unseated his rider three fences from home when in the lead at Catterick earlier this month. He had opened his account over fences in testing ground at Towcester before that and can get back on track here with an error-free round. Tyrone House has won his last two starts over the larger obstacles and steps up in trip today. He's going the right way and can figure if handling the surface, but The Ferbane Man has done all his winning on fast ground so far and had an engagement at Warwick on Friday. Ballymacduff and Whats Up Woody have hinted at ability but need to improve to score here.
