Linwood (IRE)
0%
Successive wins — including a ¾-length Newbury Spring Cup success off a lower mark — mark Linwood as a major player returning fresh to a distance and going that suits; the new, higher handicap mark is the main hurdle to clear.
Chibitty (FR)
0%
Beaten nine lengths in a handicap last time and ranked bottom of 30 on our figures, Chibitty faces an uphill task from stall 25 carrying 131lb off a stiff mark, and 117 days off the track adds further doubt.
