CHIEF SUNDAY 7/2
CHIEF SUNDAY at 7/2, Nigel & Willy Twiston-Davies and Sam Twiston-Davies, is the one I want to be with. He has had 2 of his last 4 starts on the wrong trip, back to 17½f today, close to the 16½f he wins at and his mark is 14lb lower for it and comes from a yard in good heart at 35%.
The risk is UNCLE REMUS, the only confirmed front-runner here — front-runners at this track win 2.5 times their share of these races, and an uncontested lead could be decisive.
The one worry is off the track a while.
The dangers are WESTERN SOLDIER at 12/1 (well handicapped) and CAWTHORNE BANKER at 10/1 (a course winner).
