Race preview
EAMON AN CNOIC found just the unexposed winner too good for him when producing a much improved performance to finish second at Chepstow and is backed to take advantage of the same rating dropping back to two miles here. Will Sting is sure to have plenty of backers following a cosy success at Warwick last month and Corey McGiven's 10lb claim negates most of the 13lb rise handed for that success. Not much separated Khan (first) and John Betjeman (second) when they fought out a maiden hurdle at Plumpton last month and have to be respected, while Gary Moore's pair of Imphal and Ballydoyle could offer some value.
