Soft ground may have been a legitimate excuse for Thanks Harry at Windsor last time but Chantrea's poor effort at Warwick is harder to fathom as she had gone close at this track previously. A bold bid from Half Way is expected on the back of a narrow defeat at Chepstow but it could pay to stick with TYRSAL. He dotted up at Yarmouth last month and can effectively race off a lower mark today with Kieran Shoemark's allowance taken into account.
