A few in with a shout but preference is for CHAPATI, who with front-running tactics back in use, got off the mark in this sphere at the second time of asking at Stratford last month. He can defy a subsequent 4 lb rise and continue his good start over fences. Authorizo went with a lot more zest in first-time blinkers last time so he can provide the main threat, ahead of Millarville.
