    Verdict

    Chipiron won over a longer distance here a week ago but is penalised and ANGEL ON HIGH is preferred as he finished ahead of Koeman when third to Trevolli over track and trip last month with the latter subsequently completing a hat-trick. Racing off the same mark today, Harry Dunlop’s charge also has the beating of Progressive on collateral form and gets the vote.
