        Verdict

        High Charter fulfilled last season's promise when successful over course and distance back in April and can follow up today at the expense of Ziggy Zen and Amwell Brave. The selection didn't beat much in that contest but did it in nice style holding off the sustained challenge of My Legal Eagle, with the third well beaten. This opposition are of a similar standard and should make it back to back victories. Ziggy Zen comes her following a decent spell over hurdles and doesn't look badly treated. Meanwhile Amwell Brave comes into the argument following a recent fifth behind the progressive Feed The Meter. The remainder make very little appeal and so the task is not too difficult for High Charter who gets a confident vote.
