Chevy To The Levy can complete a hat-trick here under A P McCoy, while Andrew Nick and Danny Zuko are among those with frame claims. The selection followed up an easy Towcester win with a commanding victory at Wetherby last time and is up just 3lb for that latest success. He continues his partnership with the champion jockey and with trip and ground to suit he is very much to one to beat. Andrew Nick won a Perth maiden in April and did not do badly at Towcester last time over shorter. The return to this trip should help him run another good race. Danny Zuko is of more interest now stepped up further in trip but looks better with a bit of juice in the ground, and the same can be said of Battle Stations, and we take Chevy To The Levy to land the hat-trick.
