Damaar just prevailed in a lower grade at Chelmsford last time though an apprentice was taking 5lb off his back. CONFLICT (NAP) opened his account with a convincing success over a shorter trip at Salisbury last month. He’s worth another try over today’s distance now handicapping. Tintoretto went close when favourite at Brighton while Brains also returned a losing favourite at Chester. Al Shibli will be sharper today and Huddleton Mac has been gelded since last year.
