DISTANT CHIMES was sent off favourite over 1m4f at Wolverhampton on his reappearance earlier this week and didn’t disappoint. This longer trip should bring further improvement and he can shrug off a penalty with Sir Mark Prescott’s yard in fine form. Nearly There won a lower grade contest over track and trip last month with Jan De Heem back in fourth but Oi The Clubb Oi's ran poorly at Sandown last time having scored over today’s trip at Nottingham earlier. Donnachies Girl posted a better effort when runner-up over 1m5f at Ayr recently and may prove best of the rest.
