OLYNARD won this race last year and looks capable of following up from a 4lb higher mark following a good run in defeat in the consolation race for the Stewards' Cup. Rain would be a concern as he's never won on ground worse than good and another worry is that he has got behind in his races this season and could encounter traffic problems. He's closely matched with We Have A Dream on their running at Chepstow and Willie Muir's charge should go well if coming out of his weekend run at Ascot in good order whilst the consistent Rocket Rob is unlucky not to have won more races this year and the step back up to six furlongs may see him rectify that. Sohraab and Cheveton are well handicapped these days and should be winning sooner rather than later whilst Caledonia Princess comes into the race at the top of her game.
