All four can be given a chance though Blue Moonrise is penalised having completed a hat-trick with last week’s success at Chepstow. Chipstead is upped in class and raised 6lb after scoring here but Jojo Rabbit will be sharper for a recent comeback run when finding only one too good at Ripon. EQUALITY has been gelded after struggling in much tougher handicaps than this but this is more his level and Charlie Hills’ charge may well rediscover the form of his earlier impressive win in novice company.
