Verdict

MASTER CHEWY needs to dispel a spill in last week's Tingle Creek but his overall profile over fences is very much a positive one and Nigel Twiston-Davies' 7-y-o looks a lead protagonist returned to handicap company. Libberty Hunter had an excellent first season over larger obstacles and it's feasible to think he can step forward again given his low-mileage profile. Issar d'Airy is another fancied to feature.
