The second division of the 2m6f handicap hurdle and there isn’t much to choose between the two in terms of quality. CHAPEL STILE is the obvious main contender here given how well he ran he last time out and the extra 2f that he goes over here looks sure to suit him. Reivers Lodge is a reliable sort and that can’t be said of many in this and another place may be on the cards for her with the returning Professor Plum worth watching in the market given the recent form of the Rose Dobbin yard. If there is one that is slightly under the radar here and could be a danger to the likely market leader then it would be Ceegem. He’s only had one start in handicaps so far and that appeared to let him show better form and another step forward on his second handicap start isn’t ruled out here.
