Not the strongest of contests to round off the action, but a number of Chepstow specialists feature including Phangio and Thegreendalerocket. The former is high in the weights, whilst the latter, who was a narrowly beaten third in this contest in 2016 appears to have the better of the likes of Paddy The Oscar and Bassarabad based upon their April C&D clash. Definitely Grey has claims on his latest improved start over fences, and is relatively unexposed over the larger obstacles despite being 5lb higher today, whilst Wade Harper is very well treated if it very belatedly clicks for him over fences. However, BACCHANEL really ought to have prevailed at Exeter in March, and the fitting of first time cheek-pieces might just buck his ideas up enough to offset a 4lb rise in the weights for a head defeat by Zerachiel.
