Chess Player failed to land a blow in a higher grade contest at Worcester having won at the same track before that. He’ll be in the mix once again but GO AS YOU PLEASE has returned to a winning mark and also drops back down in class having posted a better effort when runner-up at Market Rasen last time. Gouet Des Bruyeres has to put a couple of below par runs behind him but has a shout on earlier placed efforts while Annual Review gets additional headgear having struggled on his chasing bow.
