Verdict

Chaplin Bay was placed in testing ground at Carlisle last week with The Right Choice, Inexes and SHORTBACKANDSIDES finishing behind. But the latter lost all chance when badly hampered and given he won a higher grade sprint than this at Ripon earlier, Tim Easterby’s charge gets another chance today. Full Intention was placed over course and distance before struggling over 7f at Thirsk while the veteran Seamster returns to 6f having posted better efforts over the minimum trip recently.
