CHINGACHGOOK (NAP) travelled really well last time when just outpointed by Lord Of The Rock on soft ground at Haydock and this looks a strong opportunity for the Davidson gelding to gain compensation. He's yet to score on the level but has a number of decent efforts to his name as well as scoring on just a third start for this yard when taking a Musselburgh hurdle. Mr Carbonator has gone well on each of his three visits to this venue and should do so once again in receipt of weight all round. Music Seeker finished a place behind the selection when last seen and should be prominent once more without turning the tables while Railport Dolly and Bollin Joan have claims if ready for respective seasonal reappearances along with the lightly-raced Highfaluting.
