Rakhine State will find this tougher than the seller he won at Stratford last time while Skeaping has also been competing in plating races. Zamperini was still beaten a long way when runner-up over track and trip back in May but CHAPMANSHYPE finished a creditable third in a higher grade at Newton Abbot last time. A similar effort could see him come out best at this level so Jamie Snowden’s charge gets the vote. Working Class disappointed last time having gone close at Fakenham before that but may still prove best of the remainder.
