Verdict
CHOSEN CHARACTER is bidding for course victory number six and Ann Hesketh will be under orders to have him in the firing-line throughout. He may well make all as the ground has come right for the eight-year-old and he's getting a stone from Chester winner Berlusca taking into account his rider's claim. Dream Walker hasn't really fired so far this season but is now looking well treated as a result and he's another who will relish the soft going. Moonlightnavigator is back over his best trip and is another with decent claims racing off a fair mark.
