Promise has been shown by a few of these and there’s more actual form to go on that is usual in three-year-old handicaps. Having had such a good record in the race Mark Johnston (won this in 2010, 2013 and 2014) runs two representatives and both Aardwolf and Kodiac Khan are worthy of a second look. Arc Royal would be interesting with an easy lead given how well he’s whipped around Chester from the front but WELOOF looks the one who has the most improvement in him and could well build on his maiden win in his first handicap.
