Chidswell is yet another scheduled to have second run in two days and he might struggle in this company. Pain Au Chocolat jumped for fun and never saw another rival on heavy going at Newcastle 12 days ago. He won on this card 12 months ago and is only 4lb higher but has to give 9lb to TIQUER (NAP), who returned from a break and a wind operation to pull clear of decent opposition at Newbury. He has a good strike rate over fences and has his favoured ground again so should take all the beating. Wadswick Court has been off the track since October but has gone well fresh in the past and makes more appeal than Morning Royalty at the weights.
