Verdict

A competitive handicap headed by the unexposed Chapter House. He came from a long way back when beating Pretty Clear at Chepstow and while he won with plenty in hand, the Handicapper could have over-reacted. The runner-up that day has since been turned over again at odds on and she is clearly of limited ability. Voice Mail could be the one. He will be far happier over this trip having failed to stay at Epsom and while his form is far from spectacular, it is solid. Out of a mare that won over a mile, Majhool is well worth a try at this trip having done most of his racing over sprint trips. If he stays he will be a danger to all.
