Genuine tempo from Landmark Alley leading Betwitchery. A lot of improvers here. CHILLI REAPER (9) was a solid fifth on debut and beaten a few lengths at Sale. Has good upside and the extra trip a plus. Can get off the mark. BETWITCHERY (7) showed some ability when last in work up to a mile. Might need a little further but did place at only other fresh-up run and is fitter for two jump-out placings. Looks set for a strong return. MAHMUDAH (10) has started only twice and hasn't been far away. Find lesser company here and can improve into the finish. POSITIVO (4) returns from a break a gelding and is fitter for two trials and a jump-out. Has the ability. SUGGESTED PLAY: Chilli Reaper has upside.
