      Verdict

      Novice race winner Cheval Blanche has not been seen in action since trailing home in the Albany at Ascot last June. Spirit Of Sarwan won a higher grade race over 7f here last month but attempts a mile for the first time along with recent maiden winner Millie's Kiss while Things Happen opened his account when stepped up to 1m2f at Wolverhampton last time. DELFIE LANE (NAP) was successful over today’s distance at Chelmsford on his latest outing and is taken to go in again with the promising apprentice Finley Marsh keeping the winning partnership intact.
