      Verdict

      THE BIG SHORT posted a much better effort on his handicap debut when beaten a length at Chepstow. Charlie Hills’ charge may be up to landing such a poor handicap. Acertwo finished ahead of Varun's Bride over 7f at Kempton last time and has placed over a shorter distance before while Best Away sneaked into a place on his earlier debut but has gone backwards subsequently. The remainder have yet to show any form worthy of a mention.
