Verdict
Chavajod was running well when last seen in the autumn but has a lot to find with PUNK POET (NAP), who was conceding 17lb when beating him narrowly here in October. The winner also had Zahee well beaten that day and can get back on the winning trail. Tyrconnell is a four-times track winner but is still 6lb higher than his last victory a year ago. Sense Of Romance went up 9lb for an easy victory in November and was unable to cope a few weeks later while Raamez has struggled from his raised mark since scoring over 1m2f in December.
