This has an open look about it but Virginia Chick will do well to complete the four-timer as he only dead-heated at Ludlow last time and has another 9lb to carry. Away For Slates is proving frustrating but Champagne George should be approaching peak fitness and makes more appeal than last month’s Market Rasen scorer Towering. Daisy De Sivola ploughed through the mud to score at Chepstow but other recent winners Hillary View and Oskar Denarius step up in class. Stepping up in trip, MASTER VINTAGE ran well against an improver at Doncaster and could be worth an interest if handling another quarter-mile.
