The four-year-old showed useful form last spring before finishing the season tailed off at Ascot and has a bit to prove on this return, stepping back up to seven furlongs.
Myal has been a fine horse for the Steph Hollinshead yard winning five of his 11 starts and must be feared having not been beaten far at Ascot on his last start. The son of Invincible Army has finished in the first two on each of his last four starts and must be fancied to go close again despite creeping up in the weights to a mark of 79.
Papagei returned with a taking third at Musselburgh in April before disappointing when fancied for a York handicap last time. He can be expected to bounce back and rates a big danger under Jonny Peate.
Odin Legacy finished behind Cavalry Call at Windsor on his last start and will hope to reverse form off 1lb better. Alec Voikhansky replaces Joe Leavy in the plate, with the latter having just ridden out his claim.
3.55 Chester – In-form Charmaine seeks another success
The James Fanshawe-trained Charmaine arrives seeking a hat-trick having scored by a neck at Southwell and Kempton on her last two starts and this improving type could prove tough to beat off a 3lb higher mark in the Seat Unique Handicap.
Box To Box is a four-time course winner all over shorter distances and he makes each-way appeal as he should strip fitter for his recent reappearance. Local trainer Hugo Palmer partners this five-time-winner with Silvestre de Sousa.
Others to note include Spirit Of Acklam who won impressively at Ayr last month and looks capable of better as he heads up in grade.
Best of the rest
