Exec Chef was second in a handicap over 7f at Newcastle and sets the standard off a mark of 74 as Gateway was still beaten seven lengths when runner-up at Bath on his debut while Flamenco failed to show any improvement when well beaten at Chelmsford last time. Champs De Reves found life tough at Ascot when last seen in action over a year ago now and could figure but GAME PLAYER is preferred on his first start since last summer having been gelded since finishing fourth at Newmarket.
