Verdict
MUHADATHAT failed to land the odds in a novice event at Chester when giving weight to the potentially smart Gimcrack entry Kachy. The Johnston filly can make amends now handicapping with Ower Fly looking the biggest threat back over the minimum trip having ran poorly over 6f at Chepstow. Sir Theodore was outclassed at Royal Ascot last time but Lil's Joy, Willsy and Raj To Riches had less excuse for their recent poor efforts. Teversham is steadily improving but still needs more if he is to figure.
