    Verdict

    Character Onesie was narrowly beaten over a mile at Carlisle last time and can race off the same mark but his only win since 2015 came over a longer trip. Chester runner-up Mr Tyrrell and Armagnac have yet to win anywhere so far and in a tricky contest, the vote goes to the least exposed in DAIRA PRINCE. He won over 1m2f at Yarmouth last month and ran well again despite the soft ground back at the same track last time so may well prove good enough.
