Verdict

Paladin's best efforts have come on the all-weather and he remains winless. Black Dave arrives off the back of a victory at Wolverhampton but has only managed one win in 17 attempts on Turf and Shady Mccoy's good recent form has been over 6f. LIVING LEADER (NAP) has finished close up in two recent starts at Chepstow off a higher mark and this looks a good opportunity to get back in the winner's enclosure as Chester third For Shia And Lula may not be suited by this galloping track.
