      Verdict

      Chips And Rice hasn’t shown any progress since beating How Hard Can It Be at Lingfield back in April while Yarmouth winner Queen's Company never figured off today’s higher mark at Doncaster last time. But MREMBO has improved for the application of cheekpieces and having won at Newbury a fortnight ago, Jonathan Portman’s filly looks worth sticking with. The rest make no appeal unless Forward Flight improves for this return to a longer trip.
