      Verdict

      Both of Chetan's recent wins came over 6f here but he was beaten only a neck by Mecado over today's trip at Chepstow in between. He's weighted to reverse running in this and should go close but BITING BULLETS is just preferred. The latter opened his account in a maiden race at Wolverhampton last time and remains on the same mark for his handicap debut. Dark War was not beaten far at Lingfield and is not out of his though Invincible Zeb is harder to fancy.
