Verdict
Silent Echo, Mojito and Six Strings step up to handicaps having won maiden races on their latest starts with the former having the most recent form. But CHESSMAN was beaten only a neck in a tougher contest than this at Newbury on his reappearance so John Gosden’s colt gets the vote in this lower grade. Tai Sing Yeh also suffered a narrow-margin defeat at Redcar on his handicap debut and is preferred to the more-exposed Letmestopyouthere and Used To Be.
