CHICANE (3) was given a short break after hitting the frame over 1m1 1/2f at Devonport Synthetic. Kept ticking over with a subsequent trial at Longford. Expected to go well if anywhere near his best. VINO NOVELLO (1) was sent out favourite last time when third over 1m1/4f at Devonport Synthetic after he gave away a big start. Won at his only start at this longer journey. Poses a genuine threat. ROYAL DISPATCH (2) hit winning form last time out at the third run of the campaign, scoring over 1m at this track. Untried this journey but further impoved and he is among the winning hopes again. ZURICH (5) is on a quick turnaround after a moderate sixth over 1m2 1/2f at this track nine days ago. Well placed to atone.
