Verdict

David Pipe took this last year with Koi Dodville and attempts a repeat with another French import in FREE CHAKARTE. Hooded on debut, she landed her last two starts in France and should give a good account if taking to her new discipline. Alan King is a rare visitor here but sends Jad Mahal, who showed ability on one juvenile run, but has disappointed this year and been gelded. Quickdrawmcgraw, unplaced on all five Flat runs, is a rare runner here for Evan Williams, but National Charter's April third for William Haggas makes more appeal on this first run for Chris Grant. Intriguing Lady showed bits and pieces of form for Mark and Charlie Johnston on the level.
