Trouble And Strife hasn’t won since landing last year’s renewal off a lower mark. She also has plenty to find with Champarisi on latest running at Wolverhampton, though the latter is best on the all-weather. Mister Chiang gets a change of headgear having placed at Chelmsford and makes more appeal than the veteran Be Perfect, who won over 1m4f here during the summer. But it could pay to stick with NEAR KETTERING (NAP), who also won over 1m4f when successful at Thirsk last month and, having subsequently scored over hurdles, today’s distance should not be a problem.
