Inn The Bull won at Huntingdon last month but didn’t run up that form next time at Chepstow. PAGERO goes well fresh so an absence since October is of little concern and top weight may have too much class for these. Takeit Easy has only gone up 3lb for a recent course and distance success and Gina Andrews’ claim takes care of that with Ballinsker also a danger having led until approaching the last in the Grade 3 Swinton at Haydock earlier this month. Chasamax has placed a few times, including once here, but is now 0-11 and Jamacho is struggling for form.
