Verdict

A chance is taken on CHIEF BLACK ROBE, who has twice won over C&D off higher marks and may well be sparked into a revival by the reapplication of headgear. It's A Breeze opened his account over fences here just 6 days ago and looks the main danger for all the quick turnaround is a concern, whilst The Gypsy Davey was second in that race off this mark.

3	On a lengthy losing run but has hinted at a revival on a couple of occasions for current yard and was notably well backed when third at Stratford in April. Poor effort last time but has been given a chance by the handicapper and has twice won over C&D.

1	Maiden hurdler who has taken time to find his feet over fences but was impressive in opening his account in a 4-runner over C&D last time, beating The Gypsy Davey by 4½ lengths. Turned out quickly under a penalty and likely to be involved if handling the quick turnaround. 2nd Pick 1 It's A Breeze (Ire) Jockey: Paddy Hanlon Trainer: Paul Nicholls J: Paddy Hanlon T: Paul Nicholls	97	-	-	-	34%

2	Took a step back in the right direction when chasing home It's A Breeze over C&D 6 days ago. Meets that rival on significantly better terms but far from certain to back that performance up. 3rd Pick 2 The Gypsy Davey (Ire) Jockey: Conor Ring Trainer: Mrs C. Williams J: Conor Ring T: Mrs C.
