Dawn Raider has been unable to cope with a hike in the ratings since completing a double at Leicester in March. Good Man Vinnie may be a light of former days while Paseo is getting no nearer breaking his duck over fences. Glendruid is making his debut over the larger obstacles following a lay-off so GO ON CHEZ looks the obvious choice as he’s done nothing but improve since going chasing.
