Chanceiton has an excellent record around here though has returned in poor form after a long break. Gangster had been performing even worse before slamming his rivals over 4m at Hexham and, though raised 8lb, his rider's claim takes care of the extra. Benny's Secret is always capable of winning at this level and was returning from a very long break at Kelso last month while Katalystic's last two runs on the track have resulted in victories over 2m4f. HEDGEINATOR (NAP) had been running poorly before bouncing back under a fine ride from Rex Dingle at Newton Abbot where he almost made all before headed by the in-form Game Line. A similar effort would see him hard to beat, despite a 7lb rise.
