CHRYSANDER arrives on the back of a win in similar company at Bangor. That was his third victory in four starts in claimers and Evan Williams' charge looks set to add another here. Master Fong returned to winning ways in a selling hurdle at Haydock last month and can figure, but Tayarat appears to have lost his way since landing a double in November. Le Corvee finished well behind the selection before a much-improved effort at Stratford last week but Hypnotic Gaze had been in decent form prior to unshipping his rider on his latest start.
