Verdict

C&D scorer CHESS PLAYER looks the way to go on the back of his emphatic Stratford success despite having a career-high mark to overcome now. Mutual Respect also arrives in excellent nick and should ensure Ben Pauling's 8-y-o doesn't have things all his own way. Chestnut Pete is another who needs factoring in.

  1. CHESS PLAYER (IRE)
