Course regular Justice Pleasing scored over track and trip before running a shocker here last time while Kafoo is back on a winning mark and was narrowly beaten at Wolverhampton earlier this month. But CHAUCER’S TALE is less exposed and having been placed here before finishing second at Southwell, Mick Easterby’s charge gets the vote to come good. Dandy Bird is another with scope as she steps up from 6f and may prove best of the rest given Jessie Allan has yet to win in 30 attempts.
