Verdict
Masters Hill and Chase The Spud are also entered at Chepstow and will go there, weather permitting. Kruzhlinin hasn't had much racing over the last couple of years and might need this but LE REVE should now be cherry-ripe after two starts this winter. The top weight is only a pound higher than when second in the BetBright Chase here last February so looks the one to be on. Seefood continues to disappoint and Shangani has never won over 3m, though looked unlucky last time at Ascot. If there is to be an upset, Grandads Horse could be the one to provide it as he can't get much lower in the weights and Charlie Longsdon's stable has been showing signs of a resurgence lately.
