Verdict
Nick Alexander runs two in this. Royal Chatelier won a modest point-to-point last time but Isla Pearl Fisher is starting to look a light of former days. Mister Marker may also have seen better days but Railway Dillon wasn't beaten far here last month, though still finished behind MOLTEN BROWN and is actually worse off at the weights. Anthony Hogarth's charge could be the one this time, though it would be no surprise to see Ballyvesey in the firing-line as well.
