EVERY CHANCE has just that today having won over 1m6f here three weeks ago. This shorter trip should not be too much of an inconvenience and he’s preferred to Marmajuke Bay, a runner-up at Kempton on his return to action. A couple of lightly-raced types also make their reappearance and should be noted in the betting. That includes Gibbs Hill, a winner in soft ground at Sandown in July while Amazing Red landed a maiden at Pontefract just over year ago now and goes handicapping for the first time.
