Verdict

CHAMBARD returned to action with a ready success under this rider at Exeter and, while the handicapper has hit him with a 9-lb rise for that authoritative effort, he still has plenty of handicapping scope based on past exploits, so he's fancied to land this for his thriving stable. Neil The Legend is also well respected on the back of a winning start for Nicky Henderson.
