Plenty in with a chance here and it might pay to side with CHASINGOUTTHEBLUES, the youngest and least exposed of these who is now tackling staying trips for the first time having scored on handicap debut last month. Guernsey ran well in a higher grade last time and has solid claims, while Lady In The Park should not be discounted having returned to form over hurdles. Buy Some Time deserves an honourable mention on his return from an absence, and he's one to keep an eye on in the market.
