Verdict
Chapel House registered a double when making all at Leicester recently. Another bold bid is expected despite a 10lb rise, while That's The Deal has been running well from out of the handicap including when scoring over C&D last month. GENTLEMAN ANSHAN is also a winner over track and trip but his defeat of Persian Gates last May looks stronger form and, with a recent pipe-opener at Stratford under his belt, he gets the vote dropping back down a grade. The remaining trio will do well to get involved unless Viable can reproduce November's second at Huntingdon.
