Chef De Partie was placed at Goodwood for the Charlton stable and showed his first sign of form here last month when staying on over a mile. Addicted To Chaos, who won over 5f at Delaware in 2021, has never raced on Turf while Capla Crusader's four victories have all come on all-weather surfaces. Mouser broke his duck in an Abu Dhabi handicap over a mile in December but never got involved from 8lb higher here next time. The three-year-old SHARAR showed some promise in his first two starts here then ran very well in a mile maiden where he stayed on strongly. He takes on his elders on his handicap debut but this looks winnable.
