Chapel House was put up 6lb for finishing second at Worcester but wasn't disgraced at Newton Abbot next time and appears to be getting his act together. Bon Spiel was third at Worcester on Wednesday and is another to consider, while Casper's Shadow left previous form behind when winning at Newton Abbot and Jake Greenall's claim negates the inevitable weight rise. He was a long way behind the consistent TAROUM at Exeter in May, however, and Evan Williams' four-year-old deserves a change of luck having only found one too good in three subsequent starts. On The Bridge has plenty of weight but this winning pointer should also make his presence felt.
