CHATO performed well to take third spot in a competitive contest at Uttoxeter earlier in the month and the form of that race has since been boosted. If anything, this rates a slightly easier contest but there is a concern about the extra 3f. However, if he's going to stay this trip it will be around this sharp track on good ground and he gets the vote on that recent form perspective. Tea Time Fred will definitely stay and has looked back to better form the last twice, whilst Lake Shore Drive looks best of the Farrelly pair. Something was presumably amiss with The Black Squirrel when pulled up last time and he has claims on previous efforts whilst also suggesting we probably have yet to see the best of him.
