      Verdict

      Nine Tales returned a losing favourite at Chelmsford on his handicap debut but he may do better back over this longer trip while the more-exposed Fangorn posted one of his better efforts when going close over course and distance. MUMMY’S BOY goes handicapping for the first time on his belated return to action and gets the vote with Ryan Moore’s presence suggesting a big run is expected. Breakfastatiffanys drops down in trip for her handicap bow while Beloved is fitted with a hood and is preferred to Eloquent Arthur.
