Shantou Vow has been well beaten under penalties since winning over a shorter trip here in November and remains to be seen how well Exelerator Express copes penalised for scoring at Doncaster on his first outing after a wind operation. SHESHOON SONNY found only Fix Sun, now rated 137, too good at Chepstow and meets nothing of that quality in this. Alan King’s charge should be bang there at the finish on that form with the remaining pair hard to recommend.
