Formscan - Chale Chalo was just touched off after being gelded when taking the silver medal at Southwell on New Year's Day and is of interest on his return. However, TOASTMASTER had French Affair a head behind when finishing a close third over track and trip earlier this month and can confirm that form to record his first career success. Handicap debutant Gesayed is another to keep an eye on.
