Epsom Flyer has found a bit of form and won over course and distance last month. He's been beaten since and is 8lb higher but Paddy Bradley's claim takes care of the extra. The versatile Taste The Wine usually reserves his best for Chepstow but is feasibly handicapped while Hold Court and Baths Well should find this easier than recent tests. Warrant Officer has been placed in his last four starts but is little better than a plater. GUARDS CHAPEL can be a tricky ride but has ability when in the mood and could be another for the track's leading trainer Gary Moore having won twice on the all-weather this year. Alla Svelta almost refused to race at Wincanton last time and looks a risky proposition nowadays.
