Verdict
Detatchment has won twice here and made a bright start for new connections on the track last week while Markazi won five times in France and has been placed four times in the UK. Kheros hasn't fulfilled potential since a successful debut at Kempton but How Bizzare won here a fortnight ago then ran well when dropped to 7f at Musselburgh. SEDUCTIVE MOMENT (NAP) won at Windsor last week and turned out under a penalty at Newmarket on Saturday to win very easily. Another penalty gives him 12lb to find but he's in such good form that he's difficult to oppose. Candelisa would have a chance on her close second at Chester though this is a very different track.
