Race preview
Count Otto beat CHIL CHIL by a neck when that pair fought out the finish of a similar contest over C&D at the Craven meeting a couple of weeks ago, but the latter could reverse that form today. Andrew Balding's mare was making her seasonal return on that occasion, whereas Count Otto was fit from a winter on the all-weather, and she is 1lb better off at these weights. Embour won on his seasonal debut at Redcar and a 3lb rise for that success appears to be fair, while Raaeb is another with strong form claims.
