BON CHIC (NAP) should find this a lot easier than the Listed handicap she contested at Cheltenham last month. This is her trip, though she had a nice confidence-booster over 3m around here in March. Chase The Wind probably wasn't winning out of turn at Wetherby, though is a little flattered by his form figures. Mercers Court only won by a neck at Fontwell and is 5lb higher here, though still not badly treated on his hurdles form. Milgen Bay still looks to be in the handicapper's grip while this looks an insufficient test for stayer Master Rajeem. Border Breaker and Drumlang are even harder to fancy on recent form.
