Verdict
Champarisi has been a credit to connections this season and now returns to action after a break. He has every chance from a form perspective but there is a concern regarding the ground if conditions continue to soften. He may prove capable of handling them but STORMIN NORMAN has been in excellent form of late, scored last time on good to soft and receiving 12lb from the top weight. Micky Hammond frequently does well in staying races around here and his charge is taken to come out on top. Forewarning disappointed last time but went close here on his only other run this season while Remember The Days is a genuine sort expected to be in the mix again.
