Verdict

CHICHESTER PARK is taken to make it back-to-back successes in this race for the Tony Martin yard. Unexposed High Court Cave is one of many dangers in a wide-open renewal, along with handicap debutante In My Teens, who could prove well treated on her Flat form.

  1. CHICHESTER PARK
  2. HIGH COURT CAVE (IRE)
  3. IN MY TEENS (IRE)
