Verdict
Lastkingofscotland has been well campaigned in similar grade by David Evans in recent months and is bound to be popular with backers to confirm Chepstow form with stable companion Blue Noodles but a better bet looks to be another runner from the Evans yard in LIBERTY TRAIL. The selection is well treated judged by official BHA ratings and has shown improved form for being dropped into sellers in his last two starts with decent efforts at Musselburgh and Catterick in those outings, he can gain a well deserved success today. Jeremy Glover's Deely Plaza has claims on the pick of his form but has disappointed of late, including in the Jersey Guineas last time, and now takes a big drop in class. Angel Of Fashion has not been good enough in claimers in his last two outings but David Nicholls now drops him into selling grade for the first time and he makes more appeal than Fortunate Bid, who ran better on his most recent start but needs to improve to trouble the selection, Liberty Trail.
