        Verdict

        Secateur had little to beat to lose his maiden tag at Doncaster then appeared to get lost on soft ground around Chester's bends. BEAU KNIGHT ran a very good race on the same track when not far behind a couple of well treated rivals. That was only his fourth start and he can take this. Jersey Jewel showed that staying is her game when coming with a wet sail to score over 1m4f at Newbury but Cosmic Statesman has been unable to get his head in front and though track and conditions will suit he may find a couple of these too quick. High Valley makes his handicap debut after finishing second of three in a Lingfield maiden.
