In depth
Verdict
Sean Og has an obvious chance as he drops back in trip having seemingly failed to get home over two miles six at Fakenham whilst Randjo has run well enough the last twice, a visor may well help to concentrate his mind and his yard looks to be on the verge of hitting top form. Organiz may well be able to improve on his debut for Robin Dickin whose other runner, Guns Of Love, is not without claims on the pick of his form. Beauchamp Viking and Thievery are two more with claims but it may be worth looking beyond the obvious campaigners and taking CHILLA CILLA to spring a surprise. She hasn't excelled the last twice so plenty has to be taken on trust but she's from the family of Mister Quasimodo and the wonderful Dubacilla so is bred to jump a fence and may improve for the switch.
