Nolton Cross and Chillingham have been running at this level without success and the latter finished behind PRYDWEN (NAP) when both were well beaten at Newcastle last time. But George Scott’s charge returns to today’s trip for the first time since finishing third in a tougher contest at Newmarket in July and can race off a 3lb lower mark today. Sonnerie Power and Zealandia have won in a lower grade this season but Capital Theory is preferred over today’s distance on an earlier win at Ayr.
