      Verdict

      with a victory at Wetherby last month. He’ll need to show further progress raised 9lb but CHICORIA can race off the same mark as when fourth at Newcastle last time in what looked a more competitive contest than this. He’s also preferred to handicap debutant Saint Freule and the returning Sporting Milan, a runner-up at Worcester back in 2016 and having his first start since having recently joined Stuart Coltherd.
