      Verdict

      CHUNGHUA gets the vote, Ed Walker's colt having made a bid bid when runner-up on his racecourse debut at Wolverhampton finishing some six lengths ahead of the rest. Rose Buck looks thoroughly exposed but Role Reversal is a half-sister to a winner on the all-weather and any strong support for this newcomer could prove significant.
