    Verdict

    Sir Chauvelin was scoring on the all-weather for the first time since 2017 when returning a surprise 25/1 winner over track and trip. But he’s not guaranteed to reproduce that effort and SHAKE A LEG is preferred. The latter was beaten only a length over track and trip before disappointing over a longer distance at Wolverhampton and gets another chance. Three Platoon and Battle Of Wills are hard to recommend on recent form though the former is fitted with a tongue-tie today.
