1. Native Chimes | Short back-up of seven days and has got off to a poor start this campaign but should improve with fitness. Has the speed to overcome drawing the widest barrier. Place chance. |
2. Inflation | First-up after 19 week break and ran fourth at Ascot when last first-up. Drawn perfectly. Hard to hold out. |
