Tatting has been in fine form at Southwell but is equally at home on this surface and has every chance at the weights. But both he and Matraash filled the places behind Vastly when the latter won a similar contest over track and trip last month and Julia Feilden's charge also comes into it. ANTON CHIGURGH missed the whole of 2015 but returned to action with a good effort at Chelmsford. His latest poor run at Southwell may have come too soon and he looks worth another chance in this grade with Silvestre De Sousa on board. Samsonite also has a shout on these terms but has struggled in both starts so far this year.
