Forecast Prices: Aix La Chapelle 13/8, Nola Soul 10/1, South Dakota 8/1, Sea Venture 5/1, Revels 10/1, Aperoll 10/1, Time For The Moon 11/2, On Just Terms 25/1, Pikachu 20/1, Whispering Moon 33/1, Sword Salute 33/1, Romanza 66/1, Celtic Charioteer 33/1, Sydney Carton 66/1, Bayside 66/1
AIX LA CHAPELLE hit a bit of a flat spot over two furlongs out on debut at the Curragh but left a lasting impression thereafter, staying on really well to score over this trip. The manner of that performance marked him out as an ideal type for the Chesham and he's taken to have come on plenty for the run. Charlie Johnston launches a three-pronged assault and they're all of interest as Time For The Moon looked smart in winning at Musselburgh, Lingfield scorer Sword Salute boasts a similar profile and Pikachu finished second in what looked a decent novice stakes at Thirsk. Sea Venture went into plenty of notebooks when winning first time up at Haydock and also comes into calculations.
Prediction: 1st Aix La Chapelle, 2nd Time For The Moon, 3rd Sea Venture
