This appears to be almost a straight match between Testify, who did absolutely nothing wrong on his debut over hurdles and certainly catches the eye as one to follow from here, and THE WORD’S END, who has a touch more experience and possibly more crucially, has shown a liking for racing at Chepstow. The latter is also proven over the trip so just edges the vote on this occasion. Kaiden Michael heads the list of contenders to fill the frame.
1. The Worlds End
2. Testify
3. Kaiden Michael
