      Verdict

      My Little Tip was engaged in the 3.30 Chester yesterday. DAKOTA GOLD (NAP) continues to defy advancing years and his stable’s sprinters could not be in better form. Michael Dods’ top weight can get the better of fellow eight-year-old Hyperfocus, who also arrives in good form and is a previous course and distance winner. Chairmanoftheboard is starting to slip down the ratings again, as is Aleezdancer, but Abolish is likely to struggle again.
