Today's ground may be a bit quick for Very First Blade but he did finish ahead of Smart Dj and Triple Dream at Chepstow last month. Warm Order and My Meteor are closely matched on their run together behind Burnt Cream here 10 days ago but FRANK THE BARBER wasn't far behind and has a chance of reversing form with that pair on the revised terms. Steph Hollinshead's charge may be the value with Go Charlie preferred to Classic Image of the others.
