Verdict
Camron De Chaillac was sent up to Sedgefield after winning here in December and never saw another rival in completing a double but a penalty here could thwart the hat-trick. Daytime Ahead looked ready for a rest last time at Chepstow but Somerset Jem has attracted market support the last twice and has been knocking on the door. GROUNDUNDERREPAIR falls into a similar category and may still be improving. He’s gone up another 5lb since his second at Southwell but can get back on the winning trail. Kalmbeforethestorm was only beaten a nose on his comeback run in September but has been off the track again since. Bradford Bridge still hasn’t won a race and has been chasing lately with mixed results.
