DARGEL finished fourth to the useful Biometric on his penultimate start and, with the third now rated in the mid-70s, he was clearly let in lightly on his handicap bow at Chepstow. The handicapper has been lenient again and Clive Cox's charge has an excellent chance to follow up. Fiction Writer and Padura Brave represent yard's of contrasting sizes but both have their teams in good shape, however the biggest threat may come from Recuerdame whose two best career efforts have come off today's mark of 65.
