C&D winner Jeer is hard to catch right and was well beaten on his recent return from a lay-off while Transfer has finished nearer last in a couple of starts since scoring at Ffos Las. Iceman George has a leading chance as he won over C&D a fortnight ago and is only a couple of pound higher but a punt is taken on CHEMISTRY MASTER. The latter had been steadily improving on the Polytrack before posting a poor effort at Epsom last time and the four-year-old still has plenty of scope on only his sixth start.
