Verdict
Chevallier won this last year off a higher mark with Captain Cat well beaten. He beat Franco's Secret here after that but the latter hasn’t raced since March when runner-up in a higher grade. Towerlands Park has been thereabouts over further recently and Ryan Moore takes over the reins today while Lady Perignon won over track and trip here a fortnight ago but is upped in class along with last week’s third here, Chester Street. SURREY HOPE (NAP) was beaten only a neck by the progressive Goring over course and distance on his reappearance. This is less competitive and he’s taken to go one better and confirm running with Alfred Hutchinson in the process.
