CHANTECLER has been in good form in recent starts and he can register a second victory in his last three starts at this venue by taking this competitive handicap hurdle. The selection has a promising conditional in the saddle and he can see off Winter Spice who has placed on both starts for this stable and has the trip and ground in his favour. The returning handicap debutant Majestic Touch can claim third on his first start since May last year.
