It may pay to chance LORD NAPIER despite the fact this will be his first run this season. Peter Bowen's five-year-old had an excellent and progressive novice campaign and could have more to come now after a summer break to strengthen up. Jaboticaba was disqualified for hanging into the path of a rival last time out but that still represented an improved effort so he is feared as is Darling Maltaix who possibly got there too soon at Taunton latest after travelling like a winner for a long while.
