The sole Newmarket raider, Roast Chestnut, is sure to be popular after making a promising debut when a close-up fifth at Windsor last month. Treat Of Treats is an interesting newcomer for Kevin Ryan while Chumbaa continues to perform with credit without getting her head in front. NIGHTEYES was well beaten last time but her overall profile reads well and she gets the nod on the basis of runner-up efforts at York and Ayr when beaten under a length on both occasions.
