CHAPMANSHYPE (NAP) was a ready winner over a shorter trip here last month. The extra yardage shouldn’t be a problem and his yard is going well at present so he can defy a 7lb rise. Asylo looks a danger back over hurdles and That's A Given gets cheekpieces after jumping poorly on his return to action at Worcester. Constancio may be a few pounds too high at the moment but is still preferred to Nathans Pride and the returning Voodoo Doll.
