Secretinthepark was engaged last night at Chepstow. A drop back to sprint distances has suited Mountain Peak and he’s on a hat-trick after wins at Leicester and Haydock but we’ll stick with WAR WHISPER (NAP), who is also on a three-timer and will enjoy the uphill run to the line here given the way he finished off at Carlisle and Pontefract. Shamshon will surely be winning again before long but George Dryden and Lucky Beggar are usually worth opposing. The three-year-old Rickyroadboy may struggle upped in class.
