CHILWORTH LAD is easily the best served by the framing of this conditions race and should take all the beating. Mick Channon's charge followed his maiden win by finding just one too good in a listed race and now takes a step down in class have not be disgraced in Group 2 company on his last two runs. It's dangerous to rule out anything from Richard Fahey's team presently and Mayson doesn't have to find a great deal on these terms to get involved. Malgoof has looked progressive so should show more again and receiving weight from them all should go close while Kevin Ryan's yard are in good form so King Of Aquitane would also be a danger to Chilworth Lad.
