Verdict
Chivalry had the choice of six engagements, over the next few days and must be respected, but his yard has yet to get into full swing, so this looks best left to Cherished Number, who is proven in conditions. Recent course and distance winner Duelling Banjos, is effective in this ground, but is only moderate and will need to find more to take a hand in this.
