Verdict
Ascot winner Chil Chil possibly wasn’t suited by the going when failing to defy a 9lb rise in the ratings at Salisbury and deserves another chance on this faster surface. But she was no match for MOTAGALLY here in July and is only a pound better off. Delagate This Lord, Open Wide and Walk On Walter are also previous course and distance winners but Princess Power is proving hard to place this season.
