Plenty can be given a chance in this with only a token vote going to CHIEFOFCHIEFS. He won a maiden at Windsor before finishing runner-up over today’s trip at Yarmouth on his handicap bow. Mutamid only found one too good over 7f here last time and Brilliant Vanguard is usually in the mix. Devil's Bridge has been placed off today’s mark on a couple of occasions and Vantage Point went close at Wolverhampton earlier. Abatement and Election Day are not out of this either in something of a lottery.
