Verdict

Beware Chalk Pit is a course specialist and should be all the better for a comeback second to Itoldyou here. But the latter subsequently finished behind GLENWOOD PRINCE over track and trip and the top weight, who has been in good form lately, can get back on the winning trail. Royaume Bleu has a poor strike rate and needs to step up on recent efforts to figure while Fluzeug, though still tumbling down the weights, has never looked like winning. Dushy Valley beat Beware Chalk Pit here last season but has shot up the weights since though, like Tarabela, will strip fitter for a recent outing.
