Verdict

Hollywood Road comes here with a good chance off a decent weight, while the booking Derek O'Connor can only be seen as a positive. Similarly, Simon Walker is an advantage in the saddle for C'est No Mour , twice a winner over shorter this season and coming here having shown a good aptitude for this test at Newmarket recently. Whinging Willie , a regular at the track, and Star Of Lombardy are worth a look but this can go to TOUBOUGGALOO , a rather unfortunate loser last time. She was destined to complete a Chepstow hat-trick when equipment gave way and the saddle slipped inside the final furlong. Clearly thriving, she's off the same mark here and can atone.
