Second twice at Chelmsford, it’s about time the three-year-old Volcanique was winning but, at the opposite end of the handicap, NOBLE BEHEST (NAP) makes more appeal today. He won off a much higher mark last year and hinted at a revival last time at Wolverhampton – his rider’s claim is a plus. Vibrance didn’t handle heavy ground at Pontefract so also has a squeak but Extreme Appeal may need this. Sir Canford is taking a big step up in trip so Butterfield may be the pick of the remainder.
