Verdict
CHINWAG, progressive in the spring, could outclass this bunch if fully wound-up - any rain would increase his prospects further. Kerb Line’s third at Ffos Las in March was a step forward and he can make the frame again but Sexy Lot was beaten 27 lengths when second at Newton Abbot six weeks ago, though the winner scored again in better company at Bangor on Wednesday. The others are easily dismissed.
