The Caller and Chasma finished one-two at Sedgefield last month with the Stephens inmate prevailing by 4l. Both have confirmed their stamina for this test and there should be little between them at the revised weights. The Two Amigos and Captain Cattistock are respected but both have plenty on at the weights, whilst Shanroe Santos has every chance if in the form which saw him land this prize 12 months ago, although it's interesting that he has not been seen for 224 days and now returns after wind surgery. The choice is ONE OF US, who stays this trip well, receives weight all round and should be all the better for his pipe-opener at Wincanton last month.
