COME ON BLUE CHIP may have got in lightly under a 6lb penalty having scored by five lengths over 7f here last week. He looks sure to last home over today's extra furlong and Paul D'Arcy's charge gets the nod. Orwellian isn't making any great strides, though he handled the Polytrack when fourth at Kempton last time so Ashkan could prove a bigger threat on his handicap debut. Courtesy Call and Hearts And Minds were well behind the selection last time, but Newcastle winner Flurry Of Hands could figure in the finish.
