Verdict

UP THE STRAIGHT shouldn't have anything of Chantry House's quality to contend with this time and can build on that sound first effort over fences, particularly if deriving any benefit from a recent wind op. Ar Mest could be the main threat ahead of Thebannerkingrebel, who was left to jump around on his own after the first when making a winning chase debut here last month.
