Given the paucity of solid chasing form RYALEX taking drop in grade is presented with a good chance of breaking his chasing duck. Outside of him there are few solid options and that may give Resolute Performer a chance off a break with Mollies Gent’s course form giving him a squeak. The others are a rag tag bunch although at what could be a big price Vesuvhill is interesting based on some of his chase form where he looked a bit better than his final placing suggests.
