Roman Dynasty found one too good at Chelmsford recently while Peintre D'etoiles finished runner-up over a shorter trip here. Society Red steps back up in distance after finishing in front of Asdaa when fourth at the track while connections will be hoping a tongue-tie sees Tom Collins return to form. PRECISION STORM (NAP) hasn’t raced over course and distance since March but was beaten less than a length off a 2lb higher mark on that occasion and Mark Loughnane’s grey may prove the one to side with in this.
