With Chantecler sporting a 'win' record of 1 in 29, yet still carrying top-weight, this tells a sorry tale about the calibre of horses in this contest. However, in fairness to the Neil Mulholland runner, he does seem to have been dealt a fairly harsh hand by the handicapper of late. Little makes obvious appeal, so we'll focus in on just a single runner. KINGS TEMPTATION appears stamina laden, and he posted a much improved effort when upped in trip at Uttoxeter in June (2m7½f good) when just failing to catch Lime Street by half a length. A subsequent 9lb rise in the weights ensures a sterner test awaits, but there must still be every chance that the lightly raced Ben Case trained five-year-old can go one better in this company.
