        Verdict

        TATHMEEN looks to have every chance again. He beat War Whisper with Foxy Forever further behind here last time and had earlier beaten previous winner Jonboy over course and distance. He found Aloysius Lilius too good at this track in between those wins but the latter has subsequently struggled off today’s 8lb higher mark back in Ireland and Antony Brittain’s charge can reverse running representing last year’s winning yard. Chitra’s earlier double came at Lingfield though she won her only previous outing here back in 2018 so is preferred of the remainder.
