A drop back to 6f might help Chuck Taylor, who was third here in July. Ignac Lamar is more exposed than most and has been well beaten twice off this mark in handicaps already. He also finished behind Glorious Angel and Cotai Pearl at Newcastle earlier this month. PRIORS DELL has had excuses in both starts since completing a double at Newbury in July and he can defy top weight in a valuable nursery with Galore having shown her best form on the Polytrack at Kempton.
