Chapter Five, the sole winner over this trip, enjoyed a good time of things last season with three successes. Not seen since last November, she's likely to need this return run and tends to reserve her best for Bath. Kathlatino and My Destination finished one-two last time over the Newcastle mile and a half and there should be little between them with both expected to contend, although the former shaped as if more likely to be suited by this additional quarter mile. ANNE'S VALENTINO takes a step up in grade after a couple of Class 6 victories and has no stamina doubts over this trip. Malcolm Jefferson's filly definitely houses scope for progress after only six Turf starts and is taken to maintain her upward curve. Blue Top was behind the selection last time but is gradually getting his act together this term and should be closer now. He rates the each-way option.
