Verdict

Fossos saves his best for Chepstow and won again at the latter track a week ago. But WE’RE REUNITED prefers this venue and, having been in the mix in both starts since winning here in May, he gets another chance. Fair And Square finished behind the selection last time but Shesadabber placed here earlier in the year and Watermelon Sugar slips further down the weights.
