Hope Rising holds a clear edge in the ratings over Sneaky Blinder and, with the good-to-firm conditions at Chepstow likely to suit, this looks a straightforward opportunity for the selection to make her superiority count over a mile and a half. Sneaky Blinder represents the only danger in what is a two-runner contest, but Hope Rising's eleven-point advantage in our assessments suggests she should have too much in hand. Hope Rising is our selection.
