In depth
Verdict
SENECA CHIEF (NAP) is penalised for last week’s success at Wolverhampton but that was only his second start since 2017. There’s plenty of scope for further progress and he scored over track and trip as a three-year-old. Swell Song needs to reverse running with the top weight but Bernie's Boy went close here in March and Terri Rules has switched yards since finishing runner-up over today’s trip at Lingfield. Our Man In Havana hasn’t raced over 5f since scoring at Wolverhampton in 2018 but Lyons Lane may improve having changed trainers since last year.
