CHASMA (NAP) followed up last month’s win at Newcastle by scoring over a slightly longer trip here next time. He’s gone up another 7lb but a hat-trick could be on the cards. Two Hoots has recorded both chase victories on this track and is only 4lb higher than the last of those so rates a danger. Winning hurdler Lucky Robin should be capable of better over fences with Paddling preferred to Expresstime of the others.
