      Verdict

      Flemens Story ran below par on good ground last time but should do better back on today’s surface having placed at Sedgefield earlier. But there looks more to come form the rejuvenated HEAR THE CHIMES, who scored at the latter track in November and won again at Huntingdon on his latest start having undergone wind surgery in between. Shaun Harris’ charge is also preferred to the recently placed Dulce Panem, who was due to run at Wetherby yesterday, while Morning Royalty slides further down the weights but looks no nearer ending a long losing run as of yet.
