Woodrow has won twice here but finished last on his latest start and needs some respite from the assessor. Cousin Shay finished runner-up on just his fourth start here in January and will have needed his return in September. FINKE RIVER found the extended 1m2f much too far here last month but had no problems scoring over track and trip last week and can defy a 9lb rise. Silver Nemo's two victories at Chelmsford last year were over 6f while Lion Ring has never won in 23 starts. Breakfast Club might just have needed last week's run after a break and was running well on Turf in the summer.
