Verdict
Euchen Glen is preferred to stable companion Sir Chauvelin but both are in the veteran stage now. Haliphon is out of sorts but did finish ahead of Scampi at Epsom three weeks ago. It's Good To Laugh was hampered when unplaced behind Dark Jedi in this last year and the winner is only 3lb higher but KIHAVAH (NAP) is in the form of his life. Adrian Keatley employed Jodie Townend to steer the six-year-old to a bloodless victory in a ladies’ race at York last week and has booked Billy Lee this afternoon.
