      Verdict

      Assimilation is upped in class off a higher mark having won at Wolverhampton while several of these have been threatening to get their head in front. Nefarious was placed yet again when going close at Kempton and Strict Tempo found only one too good over today’s trip at Salisbury. Chatham House was beaten less than a length at Chelmsford while HAWRIDGE STORM just missed out over a mile at Goodwood. This drop back in distance will suit Rod Millman’s charge and he gets the vote. After John has more scope than most but Shorter Skirt was due to run at Brighton yesterday.
