Hear The Chimes was a very easy winner at Huntingdon 12 days ago but it was very soft that day and he might be worth opposing on this quicker surface upped in grade with a penalty to carry. RED INCA could be another for the Ellison team as he's well treated on past form and looked to be on the way back when third to Silver Duke at Musselburgh last month. Cappielow Park wasn't winning out of turn at Wincanton and is only 4lb higher but Ruler Of All is looking a light of former days while course and distance winner Haatefina is another who would have preferred easier going. The maidens Triple Chief and Boss Des Mottes may be best of the rest.
