      Verdict

      Chester'slittlegem deserves some reward for her consistency at this level but is likely to find at least one too good again. Chester Deelyte has yet to take advantage of a tumble down the weights but ALL RIGHT NOW won a Chepstow handicap last month when well backed and should make a bold bid to defy his penalty. The Name Is Frank was third but beaten almost four lengths and doesn't look capable of reversing the form. Brandywell Boy finished ahead of the latter and Ridgeway Sapphire here in July but is starting to look a light of former days.
