Chanceanotherfive landed a double with his latest narrow-margin success at Newcastle but is penalised 10lb along with THEATRE LEGEND. The latter was a more convincing winner at Sedgefield last time and a conditional’s claim helps his cause. Cpm Flyer and Chateau Marmont represent last year’s winning trainer with preference for the former and fellow newcomer Seddon is related to a bumper winner. Timesawaiting has placed in a point-to-point and makes more appeal than stablemate Parker.
