Forecasts

Chambard (9/4), Cilaos Glace (7/2), Town Parks (5/1), Meldrum Lad (6/1), Boldmere (13/2), Midnight Maestro (9/1), Don't Ask (12/1), Tanarpino (14/1), Holbrook Park (16/1)

Verdict

He wasn't foot perfect at Sandown last month but CHAMBARD showed enough to suggest he'll be winning over fences before too long and that form is solid with the winner having come out and scored again since. Town Parks is on a workable mark if finding his best, while Meldrum Lad should be better suited reverting to chasing having been pulled up in a competitive Cheltenham handicap over timber last month.
