Verdict
CHASING FIRE is bred to be a smart stayer on the Flat but was purchased for £170,000 after landing a point at Tattersalls Farm last October. He won a Wetherby bumper easily enough in March and is destined for better things. Sassified is rated 75 on the Flat and scored for Johnny Murtagh last summer though hasn't run for over a year. Richard Spencer won this last year and Dandy Maestro has won three times on the level while Highland Getaway is a half-brother to a winning bumper and hurdler and is one to note.
