Trevian, Night Storm and Aggravation are the three to concentrate on in this handicap and the narrow preference is for Trevian. The selection has a penalty for his recent success on this track when he beat The Gaikwar, but he remains well treated and he looks like one to stay on the right of at present. Night Storm beat our selection on his last outing and is slightly better off at the weights today, so strictly on the form book she is entitled to win again. However, Trevian has really found his form now and he looks a little more progressive than Night Storm. Aggravation is interesting as he was well-backed when second behind Out For A Stroll at Salisbury last time. He is clearly in rude health and it will be a surprise if he is not able to make the frame. Lord Chamberlain is a course and distance winner who is running well at present, but he is steadily rising in the weights and for the winner we are happy to stick with Trevian.
