        Verdict

        A competitive contest with another chance going to CHEVALLIER in the hope his recent aberration was just a one-off. Archie Watson’s charge lost all chance when missing the break last time but had landed a double at Lingfield before that and beat Horsted Keynes, Bold Prediction and Ice Royal in the process. Take The Helm steps back up in trip after winning over 7f and Quixote was not beaten far over the same distance at Kempton. Ryan Moore takes over the reins on Qaffaal, who completed a hat-trick at the end of last year but is 10lb higher than his latest success while Loyalty drops back down a grade.
