        Verdict

        It's hard to get away from First Buddy - Trimlestown may be the one to chase him home. Alan Swinbank's charge showed promise in a couple of runs over hurdles in the winter but showed that those outings haven't blunted his speed for the day job with a convincing success at Haydock. He's due to race from a 5lb higher mark in the future as a result and is hard to oppose. Trimlestown failed to get his head in front for Henry Candy last year but he ran some fair races in defeat and is back on a decent mark. His debut for this yard came on the all-weather and was no more than satisfactory but he should appreciate the return to racing on grass. Chicken George is better than he showed when a beaten favourite on his seasonal return and may be worth another chance but we fully expect First Buddy to take all the beating.
