Galloping track appear to suit Semper Augustus but he was beaten off a lower mark at Yarmouth after getting off the mark at Newbury. Freak Out has switched stables since his fifth at Yarmouth but State Patrol will strip fitter for his third at Chester. DEJAME PASO won a better race than this at Sandown last month and can defy a 4lb rise with Hayley Turner doing the steering, though Just For Yuse is learning with experience. Trevolli probably needs softer ground.
