Verdict
CHINDIT has passed both tests so far with flying colours and his latest success at Ascot looks very strong form. The second won next time at Salisbury, beating a subsequent Listed winner in the process. Jim Crowley prefers course and distance winner Albasheer to Newmarket scorer Mujbar but both are open to plenty of further improvement. Devious Company almost certainly found his latest race at Naas coming too soon after his second at York and he will appreciate a return to the trip over which he was second in Group 2 races at Newmarket and Goodwood in July. Saint Lawrence made all in a Newbury Listed contest four weeks ago but is also looking a little exposed.
