The two at the head of the weights make the most appeal with Chivalry just receiving a preferential nod over Talldark'N'andsome. Both horses have acquitted themselves with credit in their last couple of outings, but Chivalry is arguably the least exposed runner in the field. His rider's claim more than covers his 3lb penalty for winning a Classified Stakes race at Windsor last time and his canny trainer looks to have found him another good opportunity. Portacasa also hails from a yard that is flying at present and may be the one to capitalise if conceding weight proves to be beyond no's 1 and 2 on the racecard.
