Verdict
Wiley Post romped to a five length success dropped down to the minimum trip at Chesptow but the handicapper has taken a dim view and raised him 15lb. Willsy is upped 5lb for winning over a longer trip in soft ground at the same track and DISMANTLE is preferred. The latter has shown early pace in placed efforts over 6f and should have the measure of Wolverhampton runner-up Pouliche. Showbizzy and Rosie Royce are both worth noting now handicapping for the first time.
