TRAINER-IN-FORM (LAST 14 DAYS): A Watson (5 wins from 40 runners, 12%) runs CHIEFMAN

LONGEST TRAVELLER: DUELY SPICED trained by G Kelleway, Newmarket, 271 miles.

PER CONTRA did quite a bit wrong on debut at Chepstow last month but his ability shone through as he scored readily and he’s strongly fancied to defy a penalty. Chiefman failed to deliver on his opening run but will surely know more this time.

RACE STATS

LEADING COURSE TRAINER (17-22): H Morrison (9 wins from 32 runners, 28%) runs TUKI TUKI TRAINER-IN-FORM (LAST 14 DAYS): P Evans (6 wins from 32 runners, 19%) runs MONTY BE QUICK LONGEST TRAVELLER: VIOLETS STAR trained by A West, Epsom, 206 miles.

This represents a good opportunity for TUKI TUKI, who has made the frame on each of her 3 starts and conditions here won’t pose a problem. Violets Star is the clear main danger on the strength of her promising debut at Thirsk where she went close at huge odds. Monty Be Quick, Mma Ramotswe and Many A Year (in that order of preference) should all be in there pitching for minor place money
