Charge It is taken to land this chase with both Dancewiththedevil and Armoury House worth noting. The selection is still relatively unexposed and is open to further improvement. He ran a blinder on his seasonal reappearance at Newton Abbot when second to Los Suenos and this drop in trip ought to suit also. He got tired towards the finish that day and he will strip fitter this time around so he is the one to stay on the right side of. Dancewiththedevil was given a very confident ride by todays rider last time out and although he would have struggledto beat Kirby¿s Vic that day if ridden closer to the pace he can go close once again. Armoury House won a little race at Towcester in April for which he was raised 9 pounds for and as a result he has since struggled, and he may do so until the handicapper gives him a chance. So for the winner we return to Charge It.
