Formscan - Great Blasket was able to exploit a sliding handicap mark when on target under Elizabeth Gale at Chepstow and he merits the utmost respect from 3lb higher. However, a chance can be taken on LADY OF ARABIA, who made a pleasing return at Haydock last month. Eve Johnson Houghton's mare could take a step forward, especially with the benefit of Jack Nicholls' 5lb claim. Chalk Mountain continues to run well in defeat and is unlikely to be far away.
