Verdict

Investissement won a claimer over a shorter trip last time but had earlier finished behind Coup De Grace over track and trip. The latter has every chance once again but collateral form gives him something to find with GUARDS CHAPEL. Gary Moore's charge ran well again last time having scored over course and distance before that - with Feb Thirtyfirst and a below-par Opera Buff behind - and gets the nod. The latter posted a much better effort behind Investissement last time while Angus Glens has been running well at Wolverhampton but is 7lb higher than his latest win.
