Carlisle winner Seal Rock was expected to do better at Chepstow last time but Mrs Warren remains in good form and scored at Warwick on her latest start. Leicester runner-up Smokethatthunders has to race off a higher mark back on the all-weather but Dominium and Whipphound could figure off their current marks. CLUBLAND won at Thirsk on his penultimate start and is back in the same grade today after making the frame at Newcastle. He gets the nod to land the closing event.
