        Verdict

        Savoy Chapel deserves to win a race having found one too good in each of his last three starts and Tony Carroll's colt is taken to make the most of the weight that he receives from his rivals of who Alcharinga and Llamadas are rated the main dangers. The selection has done little wrong of late and is set to go up 1lb in future weights following his latest second behind Stay Close at Lingfield. Llamadas has been in similarly consistent form of late and has to be respected but this represents a step up in class for Paul Blockley's gelding and he may be best watched. Top weight Giant's Rock is less exposed than some of these and Gerard Butler's gelding cannot be ruled out but it is surprising to see the son of Giant's Causeway dropping back in distance. Triffid makes his debut in a handicap and it will be interesting to see if there is any money for Richard Fahey's gelding, although a bigger threat may come from Alcharinga. Tim Etherington's gelding showed his best form when fourth behind Orpen Wide over six furlongs here last month and should appreciate the longer distance today. Savoy Chapel has an obvious chance though and he gets the vote.
