CHICAGO OUTFIT gained his first success over fences on his 13th start at Kelso last month and was taking on slightly better company on this track later. He looks the one to be on as Sambelucky had dropped to a very low mark when scoring at Newcastle last March and has struggled from 10lb higher subsequently. Bocamix has ben placed once in six starts over fences and looks high enough in the weights while Pistol Basc has a poor strike-rate but has dropped to his lowest ever rating on his 45th start.
