IMBUCATO is 0-13 but has only run twice since undergoing wind surgery and switching stables. He’s been placed on both occasions and his day may finally have arrived. Stable companion Papa Delta steps up in trip but is less exposed so may also have decent claims. Watch Tan is closely matched with the selection on Chepstow running and Cruel Clever Cat ran her best race to date here last month. Multitask has been a beaten favourite in his last three starts but usually goes well here and has plummeted down the handicap so is worth a market check.
