      Verdict

      Indian Chief and Stardrifter were both engaged to run yesterday while Bahamian C has failed to win since landing this contest back in 2014. Cliff Bay scored here before tailing off at Carlisle while AMY BLAIR scored over track and trip last month and won here again on his penultimate start. Upped in class at Chester last time, Keith Dalgleish’s charge will be more at home back at this level. Both Archipeligo and Galilee Chapel look high enough in the weights and seem better on the all-weather nowadays.
