Verdict

Editor In Chief cost 140,000 gns, and won a minor event at Chepstow last term before finishing second over 10F on this track he is bred to stay and should relish this trip while his stable companion Ski For Me finished well when fourth in a big field here on her debut last year before winning a minor event in heavy ground. Affray cost $160,000 and managed a minor win at Nottingham last Autum. He was not disgraced in competitive affair on his reappearance at Newmarket recently where he was denied a clear run. Sculptor comes from a stable in form, but his efforts on the poly track at Lingfield do not look good enough. Norwod Origo is a half brother to five winners who has shown some promise while Titchfield has been well beaten in both runs this Spring.
