Verdict

Gambon returned to winning ways at Chepstow but beat the re-opposing Eye Of The Water by only a neck and that pair are hard to separate. MAY REMAIN (NAP) is preferred as George Baker’s charge won over the minimum trip at Sandown in July and finished in front of Whelans Way, Triggered and Honore Daumier when caught close home over today’s trip at Ascot last month. Delagate This Lord can figure back down in class for this and makes more appeal than Kick On Kick On and Sweet Pursuit, who both placed in lower grade sprints last time.
