Chapel Green was beaten in a handicap last time having earlier won a novice hurdle at Kelso when beating Chase A Fortune. The latter re-opposes on more favourable terms while ROYAL MOGUL is another penalised for an earlier success at Catterick. But Donald McCain’s charge found only one too good at Wetherby subsequently and looks worth another chance given he finished in front of a subsequent winner on that occasion. Riggsby and Last Mission are of similar ability on the Flat and both make their debuts over hurdles.
