LITTLE CHIP finished a close third in this contest last year and can go two better by taking the 2017 renewal under his useful amateur jockey. The selection wears cheekpieces for the first time today and can get the better of Mon Parrain who has to put a couple of disappointing efforts behind him here while the veteran Little Legend can claim third.
