It's possible the drop back to 5f will help but Chester brought out the best in him for Roger Varian and it's been the same story for his new yard this term; has to improve upon what he's been showing away from the Roodee.

Form & Verdict
Ran well at Wolverhampton (6f) in November but form figures of 0039 reflect that she's not a particularly solid option; chance of winning partly depends on how well she responds to the addition of cheekpieces.

Signs of ability in AW novice/maidens (5f-6f) but has looked something of a work in progress; taken out of her intended handicap debut at Wetherby (5.5f, good to firm) last week because of unsuitable ground, so this projected softer surface could suit; best watched for the moment.
