      Verdict

      Chapter And Verse has won just the twice since 2012 but both of those wins came over track and trip. He ran well again here last month but HICKSTER is just preferred in this. The latter has been in fine form on the all-weather and can compete off a 2lb lower mark back on this surface despite scoring at Wolverhampton last time. Mawaseel struggled for most of last season but Diletta Tommasa was not beaten far in a blanket finish at Lingfield a fortnight ago and can figure.
