Strike West returns to action raised 4lb for winning at Carlisle in April but CHANCEITON has the more recent form with last month’s victory in a higher grade at Kelso. Lucinda Russell’s charge is taken to go in again despite a 5lb rise. Top Billing is also dropped in class and will take advantage of a slide down the weights before long while See Double You won over track and trip before running well again at Ayr off today’s higher mark. It remains to be seen if Lawtop Legend can build on a recent second here and Chocolat Noir also has a shout.
