        Verdict

        Rocket Action won over track and trip before finding only one too good at Chelmsford though takes on older sprinters today including PUDS (NAP). The latter was beaten only a neck in Listed company in Sweden last time and this return to the minimum trip will suit. Orvar finished just in front of The Daley Express when third at York though neither troubled the winner and Holmeswood ran below par in the same race. Just That Lord is upped in class after finishing runner-up here and Yimou has looked high enough in the weights since landing a hat-trick.
