Race preview
On the back of a near-miss C&D last month, ITSNOTEASY could be hard to beat if he continues to flourish in the same manner shown since he switched to racing under Rules. Both trip and ground look ideal and another bold effort is expected from the Olly Murphy-trained gelding, especially with Sean Bowen retaining the ride. Intimate is notable on just his second start after wind surgery, while Chindit Warrior is respected on his debut for the Paul Nicholls yard.
