Verdict

CHILBURY HILL's recent good form has been over fences but he did win over the smaller obstacles at Exeter in March and his latest run at Bangor suggests he could be well handicapped in a race in which several of his likely market rivals are returning from a break. They include Lovely Muck and The Nephew while Starlight Air is probably high enough in the weights now and Gwili Spar disappointed here in June, though will enjoy the step back up to 2m4f.
