        Verdict

        Aged 10, Chookie Royale is not likely to find much improvement. Middlebrow has won twice over fences and been placed four times over hurdles so will be popular with punters but BLUE BATON found only one too good on her second run over hurdles at Hexham and that looks the strongest form in a weak-looking contest, though she had finished behind stablemate Chouquette at Perth earlier.
