Surprise Picture was allowed his own way on the lead over track and trip last week and returned a convincing winner with Flatley back in fourth. He should go well again despite a penalty but Fools And Horses still looks high enough in the weights. CHALK MOUNTAIN (NAP) has placed on the Polytrack on several occasions including at Kempton last time but won over track and trip on his only previous outing on the Tapeta and may prove the one to side with in this.
