Outrage was placed at Sandown last week and Captain Lars was third at Chelmsford recently having won a plating race over track and trip in May. Secretfact is another with a shout on recent form but ISLAND OF LIFE (NAP) has gone close in both subsequent starts since winning at Sandown in June and the Haggas filly looks to have an easier task than when runner-up at Ascot a week ago. Normal Equilibrium is back on a winning mark though tends to save his best for Chester.
