CHEF D’ETAT, a big-priced winner at Tramore earlier this month, may not find it easy under a penalty but his rider’s 7lb claim will help. Achtung Baby was three lengths ahead of Theweddingcanwait at Stratford while Carpe Diem is a half-brother to two winners so is worth monitoring for any market support.
