Chilbury Hill should go well but it may be worth taking a chance with RIO LAINE with Just Beware and Sumdancer others to bear in mind. Rio Laine hasn't shone in his short career which has taken in one bumper and three runs over hurdles but he could find himself more at home in this company on better ground. Tom George has his horses in good form and he could well step up on the form that he's shown thus far. Chilbury Hill is still a maiden but he's been running really well of late and could find that this intermediary trip suits him ideally although he has to compete from a 5lb higher mark. Just Beware has also been suffering from seconditis and she could be a shade high in the weights at present and looks vulnerable. Sumdancer ran out a convincing winner over fences last time but reverts to hurdling from a 5lb higher mark and has yet to convince that he's capable of building on that run. Benitez has been well backed on occasion but this looks tougher than some of his recent assignments and Days Of Pleasure could pose more questions for Rio Laine who gets the nod.
