Chevy To The Levy is taken to win again at the expense of Peters Star and Norman Beckett. The selection was in winning form at Towcester when breaking his maiden tag. Prior to that he had caught the eye when second at Newton Abbott. He does have a penalty to carry here as do some of his rivals but we feel he is good enough to over come that. Peters Star has more experience and is more highly rated as a hurdler but he did disappoint at Bangor last time out suggesting that he may be in need of a break. While Norman Beckett looks to be improving and was in winning form here over two miles last month and this step up in trip should suit so he is worth noting also. But for the winner we return to Chevy To The Levy.
