        Verdict

        Chagall won over a longer trip at Lingfield last month, Simply Gorgeous scored at Yarmouth in June and Ower Starlight won at Kempton back in March. Wallaroo had Twistaline back in fifth when successful at Wolverhampton but THOMAS EQUINAS beat Monaadhil three lengths here a week ago and is taken to defy a penalty in this.
