CHAPTER NINE was a fairly comfortable winner over C&D nine days ago on just his second start for Seamus Mullins. He carries a penalty for that but Willie Twiston-Davies' claim wipes out half of that and the Irish import looks a good bet to double up. Captain Oats was second again at Chepstow two weeks ago but lacks an extra gear, though still makes more appeal than stablemate Highland Cadett while it's too soon to judge whether Mossmann Gorge retains all of his ability. Finch Flyer was third at Nottingham last time and looks best of the rest.
