Verdict

Outrun The Storm prevailed by only a head over track and trip a fortnight ago but HOT CHESTNUT returned a clear winner at Newbury last month and should make another bold bid raised 4lb. Dashing Dick placed in a lower grade at Leicester recently while Ataser finished runner-up over 6f here and steps up in distance along with Aplomb whose yard has won the last two renewals of this.
