Verdict

Reel Orange is sure to be popular having won over C&D a fortnight ago but at the likely prices it could be worth chancing ST LUKES CHELSEA, who needs to put a lesser effort behind him but ran his best race from this mark on penultimate start. Ocean Heights represents a trainer/jockey combination in red-hot form and he can fight out minor honours with Scoresby.
