      Verdict

      YOU'RE A GOAT won over this trip at Chelmsford in February and beat subsequent winner Ripoll, who runs earlier on the card, over a mile at Bath earlier this month. He heads the short-list, despite a 5lb rise, ahead of Fast And Hot, who has found a bit of form, and Dovil's Duel. Tough mare Choral Festival is two from two here so warrants a second look while Farham has been hinting at a revival lately and has been eased in the weights again.
