      Verdict

      The 425,000gns gelding CU CHULAINN made a promising debut over 1m2f at Lingfield when beaten less than a length. Brian Meehan’s charge beat a subsequent winner and can go one better in this. Crafter won in France for Andre Fabre and debuts for new connections on his first start since June while Mawkeb has been off the track since April. The bumper winner Ocean Heights will appreciate today’s step up in trip and New Force is related to several winners.
