      Verdict

      Fakenham scorer Entry To Evrywhere was made favourite to follow up at Leicester last month but refused to settle and dropped away tamely in the closing stages. He eventually finished 15 lengths behind DIAMOND LIFE and, only a pound better off, may struggle to reverse that form. Bawden Rocks is only 2lb higher than when second over course and distance in December but was beaten 25 lengths when filling the same spot at Wetherby last month. Chepstow fifth Gold Carrot is preferred to chasing debutant Zayfire Aramis of the others.
