CHAPATI has a poor strike rate over hurdles but was having only his second start over fences when scoring at Stratford. There should be more to come over the larger obstacles and Brian Hughes takes over the reins. Millarville went close at Cartmel between moderate efforts while Authorizo has struggled since winning at Stratford back in June. Fightfortheroses is without a win over jumps in Ireland and debuts for a new yard.
