Top-weight SPIRIT OF ACKLAM should be able to cope with this step back up in trip given the speed-favouring nature of Chester and may be able to capitalise on the drop into 0-80 company after an encouraging reappearance. Newtown Duke ran well over C&D last time and also merits consideration from an unchanged mark, with Helmsley also shortlisted having dropped further in the weights.
