    Verdict

    PROTAGONIST travelled strongly having a first run for William Haggas at Sandown at the start of the month but the gaps failed to come in time. He should strip fitter here and looks the one to beat. Chichester still looks too high in the weights and Moving Light has been hard to train but Savvy Victory is interesting running against older horses for the first time.
