Nonno Giulio just has the call on official ratings and has won twice here so has to be respected if ready after a break. Manatee Bay was very consistent last season, though it's a long time since he last won so this can go to LET'S TWIST. Kristin Stubbs' charge raced in much better company last season and generally performed with credit and his reappearance at Chelmsford should be ignored as he missed the break and never got into contention. Capolavoro is consistent but rarely runs on Turf these days and is happier running around the all-weather tracks, a remark that also applies to Black Dave.
