FOLLOWING CHAPTER showed improved form when making his second handicap start a winning one at Warwick last time and, with this step up in trip promising to suit, he is taken to score again now that he's up and running. Unleash The Beast also looks interesting over this longer distance and could be the main danger, ahead of Shuil Ceoil.

Race Hints
Specific Pace Hint: Moorland Rambler shouldn’t be inconvenienced if looking to adopt a prominent position: The leaders will have to go harder than the predicted pace forecast if the hold-up horses such as Shuil Ceoil are going to come into things.
Individual Price Hint: Lion Of The Desert traded at 25% or less of Betfair SP twice on its last 5 starts: My Fortune has traded at 50% or less of Betfair SP twice on its last 5 starts.
