Chagall has run well in a couple of starts at Chelmsford for Jack Jones but Ebury usually flatters to deceive. Bernard Spierpoint has been thereabouts lately and holds Viewfromthestars on the form book but TEA GARDEN, who beat Thaayer and Hardy at Southwell in August, would have a chance if her latest run at Newcastle was ignored. She gets the nod ahead of Saturday’s course and distance winner Cailin Saoirse.
