There should be more to come from PURE CARBON, who probably would've won by a wider margin but for a couple of late mistakes at Musselburgh and a 3 lb rise almost certainly underestimates him. Chuggy wasn't able to show what he can do at Aintree when last seen over Christmas but he will be a threat if ready to roll following a break, while Rightsotom should also have a part to play.

Race Hints
Specific Pace Hint: Tapley could be expected to race prominently. Of those in the front half of the betting forecast, Chuggy might be well positioned in a slowly run affair: Of the better-fancied horses, Pure Carbon is most likely to be ridden furthest from the pace.
Individual Price Hint: Rightsotom traded at 25% or less of Betfair SP and 50% or less of Betfair SP 3 times on 4 of its last 5 starts.
