C&D winner in June. However, has struggled for form since his next start, last of 11 in handicap at Chester (7.6f, good to firm, 22/1) 7 days ago. Has enough to prove at present.

All 5 career wins on the all-weather, successful at Newcastle in March. 14/1, ran well on first turf start for almost a year when third of 12 in handicap at Thirsk (8f, good) 15 days ago. More needed.

6/5, didn't need to be at best to get off the mark in 8-runner minor event at Nottingham (8.3f, good) 30 days ago. Could have more to offer as he now makes his handicap debut.

13/2 and visored for 1st time, third of 5 in handicap at Carlisle (7.8f, good) 18 days ago. Has been holding his form well, but looks vulnerable again for win purposes off his current mark.

Forecasts

Diamondonthehill (4/1), Pisanello (4/1), Willard Creek (7/1), Chief Of Staff (15/2), Animal Instinct (8/1), Under Fox (8/1), Star Shield (12/1), Copper And Five (12/1), Millionaire Waltz (12/1), Dougies Dream (16/1), Cassy O (25/1)

Verdict

CHIEF OF STAFF bounced back to form dropped 3f in trip and with cheekpieces reapplied when runner-up at Newbury last time, finishing clear of the rest while the winner was completing a hat-trick. The 4-y-o can build on that effort to get his head back in front again, though heading the list of dangers is the dual course-winner Diamondonthehill. Pisanello completes the shortlist.
