Verdict

The ground may have been against Uptown Guy at Haydock last time, which also suggests that he might struggle to cope with conditions here and it may be more prudent to take a chance on WAY CHIEF. Richard Fahey's newcomer is bred to go well over this trip for starters, should be well prepared for the racecourse and with little else standing out on pedigree, he may prove good enough. Well Sharp should act in these conditions and over this trip, so is another debutant to note in the market, while So Is She is a decent yardstick but continues to find one or two too good, though with the going to suit she does once again have frame claims. A chance is taken on Way Chief.
