      Verdict

      CHAI YO POWER makes his handicap debut in a weak contest. Sir Michael Stoute’s charge should be sharper for last month’s comeback outing and may prove good enough. The more exposed Topanticipation was still beaten a long way when runner-up at Sandown while Sceptred Isle steps back up in distance having failed to threaten at Brighton. Big Wing’s earlier placed efforts came over a mile while the struggling Millions Memories has his second start after wind surgery.
