Verdict

CHANKILLO (NAP) beat a subsequent winner by 14 lengths at Market Rasen on Boxing Day. The fourth has also won since so the form has a solid look about it and Sarah-Jayne Davies' charge should be capable of defying a 7lb rise in the weights as he has more scope than the majority of his rivals. Winged Express won over hurdles at Taunton last month but has been pulled up in both previous tries over fences and Mr Bachster has disappointed since successful at Fontwell in November. Carhue Princess is a course and distance winner off a higher mark but has been well beaten in three runs this term.
