Jonnie Skull has a shout if taking part but was engaged to run here yesterday. The token vote goes to CHRISTOPHER CHUA, a beaten favourite at Lingfield last time but finishing close enough to suggest he can win off his current mark. Rightcar beat Minty Jones at Kempton before going close again over 5f here during the week just behind runner-up Enter The Red. He looks likely to figure while Rise To Glory won over 7f here last month and had Dingaan and Under Par behind when third back at this track last week.
