Chepstow

Ajrad's record over C&D - three wins and a second to a well-handicapped winner from four starts - entitles him to respect as he drops in class, while Judge Frank hasn't had much luck this season. The vote, though, goes to REDHOT WHISPER (nap), who was useful as a 2yo and will be suited by the forecast ground of softer than good, having again been inclined to lug left on firm going last time. Zambezi Diamond is far from straightforward but worth a second look for the braver souls.[Graham Wheldon]
