Verdict
Khayyaal got first run on an odds-on favourite when winning at Wolverhampton and that result is probably best taken with a pinch of salt. York third Zezenia is definitely worth another try over a mile and recent rain is in her favour but the four-year-old SONG OF THE ISLES would also be suited if the going turned soft as she relished underfoot conditions at Chepstow and gets on well with 7lb claimer Ella Mackenzie. Secret Return wins her fair share but Godolphin’s Dubai Quality has more scope.
