DISTANT CHIMES is likely to be a warm order despite a penalty for last week's victory over this trip at Wolverhampton. He's been raised 7lb so he's slightly better in and more progress should be forthcoming. Ambling doesn't look a stable star but he's been showing glimpses of ability in better class than this and looks a real threat. Sawasdee was beaten a long way into second on Turf here last time but his earlier course and distance run puts him in the frame. Hackbridge was narrowly beaten in three starts in the spring and may just have needed the run when last at Epsom earlier this month.
