CHIEF BLACK ROBE showed much-improved form when making a winning yard/chase debut at Market Rasen 9 days ago, cruising clear up the home straight. Wisely turned out under a penalty, a repeat should see him tough to beat. Chase debutants Imprevu du Large and Swapped both represent powerful stables and may emerge as the lead threats.
