Race preview
CHALK MOUNTAIN was a slightly unfortunate second to State Flag at Newbury in July, but Stuart Kittow's gelding gained his reward last month. On target at Southwell before going on to complete a double at Wolverhampton six days later, taking his all-weather record to four from 11, he can continue his progress from a favourable draw. Nine-year-old Crystal Casque has shown more positive signs of late and he can get into the shake-up, along with Dion Baker, who was narrowly denied at Brighton last time out.
