This may cut up with Master Ruffit due to run here yesterday and Angus Milan winning at the same meeting and penalised if taking part. Chidswell remains 5lb higher than when successful over 2m4f here early last year and Monbeg River also drops back in distance having won at Doncaster before struggling at Ascot. Ubaltique’s bid for a hat-trick came unstuck at Sandown last time though he still ran well but this can go to last year’s winner IMJOEKING. The latter is 3lb higher this time round but gave notice of a big run today when going close at Warwick last time and Lucinda Russell’s charge gets the nod.
