Chancery won this last year when 9lb higher but is better when there is give in the ground and he was well beaten behind Central Square at Doncaster last month. The latter has a chance if the blinkers work a second time but an 8lb rise looks harsh. SNOANO has gone up 3lb for winning at Ayr but Rachel Richardson's claim takes care of that. Tim Easterby's charge has already won on the Knavesmire this year and is one who will be suited by the strong pace likely to be set by dual Haydock winner Lord Ben Stack. Great Order was rallying when only beaten a short-head over a mile at Newmarket and won over 1m2f at Leicester in July. A good run in the first by Mithqaal would be a pointer to the chances of Cote d'Azur while Dolphin Vista arrives off the back of a win at Beverley. Autocratic may have found the going too soft at Newbury last month and is another to consider.
