Verdict
There are some in-form runners here and we will side with Chatshow to get the better of Savile's Delight and Magic Amour. The selection has been a model of consistency of late and he will be suited by the drop back to his optimum trip today after running a sound race in defeat at Kempton last time behind Dickie Le Davoir. Savile's Delight is another that has been running well but the slight concernn with him is the trip today as there is little doubt that he is better over 5f. Magic Amour won over 7f here last time but he is equally at home over today's trip and he has had a light campaign so far this winter Soba Jones won well last time and is another to factor in, but for the winner we will return to Chatshow.
