Dineur has won four of his last seven starts and has developed into a decent handicapper. He wasn't disgraced when favourite at Ffos Las 10 days ago but could find BOLD CHIEF a tough nut to crack here. Harry Fry's charge has taken well to fences but will have to be ridden positively over this trip to make the most of his stamina. Grey Soldier was well behind Dineur over 2m1f last month but Pateese could figure if fully wound-up as he still has plenty of scope. Hansupfordetroit won a Ballinrobe handicap in May but has his first start for Bernard Llewellyn today.
