Sam Twiston-Davies rides Maxi Chop in this and he'll be looking to recoup Ffos Las losses, though will have to reverse that form with subsequent winner Relentless Dreamer. But it would be no surprise if Harry Cobden's mount Amanto proved the best of Paul Nicholls' pair having only failed by a neck to make a winning start over fences at Worcester. HINDON ROAD may be the pick of the weights despite having been raised another 2lb since finishing second at Market Rasen. Lord Grantham's second at Ludlow in April came in a higher grade and he can't be ignored.
