      Verdict

      Babindi returned a losing favourite again when fourth of only five runners at Chester and Silver Gunn is preferred having won at Yarmouth earlier and landing a classified race at Nottingham last time. Wholelotafun is back up in trip and preferred to Fountain Cross but a chance is taken on NIGHT OF DREAMS (NAP). The latter will need to improve on last month’s handicap debut at Leicester but is expected to do so given the Hannon colt has plenty of scope and should settle better today with blinkers applied.
