Verdict

Better was expected from the well-treated KARAKORAM at Chepstow last month and it might be worth giving another chance to Grace Harris’ charge, who was placing off much higher marks last year. Motdepas was prominent for a long way over further here five weeks ago and is less exposed with Valentine's Turf another possibility in a very moderate contest.
