HARRY HOLLAND won a maiden at Lingfield last month. It could pay to stick with Bill Muir's charge handicapping for the first time as it's easy to pick holes in the form of today's opposition. Bank Of Gibraltar is more exposed and was dropped into maiden company to record his first win while Corporal Maddox beat a couple of higher rated horses to win a claimer only to get beat in a handicap at Wolverhampton. Chevallier has every chance in this grade but has not raced since September though Isis Blue won over track and trip before unseating back here last time when still going well.
