      Verdict

      VAN HUYSEN (NAP) won over 1m2f at Chelmsford in between defeats over a mile on Turf. He’s yet to win on this surface but can race off a 5lb lower mark than that earlier success at Chelmsford. A maiden winner on the all-weather, Nosey Barker was well beaten over track and trip last time and Pike Corner Cross makes more appeal on his second at Newbury last month. Fearless Lad can also race off a lower mark than his latest win on Polytrack though should have done better at Epsom last time while Mr Red Clubs has now had 22 starts on Turf without yet winning.
