Verdict

The three rivals IMPRESSION CHIC beat when making a winning chase debut at Fontwell have done little for the form since, but she is open to improvement in this sphere and a 4 lb rise for that success is hardly prohibitive. Kap Chidley made a positive start to the season when runner-up at Uttoxeter and he is second choice ahead of Marajman and chase debutant Artic Row.
