We'll take Ron Barr's Kyzer Chief to make it fifth time lucky here, while Lavande is an obvious danger. The selection has run second on four consecutive occasions, but has given his running each time in handicaps or maidens. Back in maiden company he is 5lb worse off with Lavande than if this were a handicap, but he will give his all at a trip where he is unexposed and can score. Lavande is another regular bridesmaid and has not been seen since disappointing at Wolverhampton in October. If straight enough she should be bang there but her fitness has to be taken on trust. Walragnek has struggled on turf this spring and Uncle Harry is prehaps the most interesting of the remainde, but Kyzer Chief can take charge here.
