Plenty with a chance in this but APROVADO (NAP) was narrowly beaten at Ayr a fortnight ago and may come come out best today having won off an 8lb higher mark last season. Etienne Gerard was ahead of Poppy In The Wind when runner-up at Beverley while Mercers Row has slipped down the weights and showed signs of a resurgence with a third at Catterick recently. Ypres was also placed at the latter track when ahead of Jacob's Pillow and Groundworker but Lydiate Lady remains 5lb higher than her earlier success over 5f here.
