      Verdict

      AS IF BY CHANCE returned to action with a third over course and distance but would have finished closer with a clear run. He looks capable of scoring off his current mark on that evidence and can confirm latest running with both Mighty Power and Ron O. Anif won over track and trip earlier but was beaten back here last week while Pockley’s recent victory came over the minimum distance and the unexposed How Impressive is preferred.
