It's not hard to envisage TAKE CHANCE raising his game now pitched into a handicap and he is taken to do just that. The 5-y-o caught the eye at Bellewstown recently this opening mark is a workable one. Realism will be a threat if on-song starting out for his for new yard back from a break, while Parkgarve is another potential improver now handicapping and he is third choice ahead of Only One Plan.
