In depth
Verdict
TABJEEL ended a frustrating run of placed efforts with victory in a Lingfield maiden last month. The Godolphin colt remains on the same mark for this and should be in the firing-line. Chapter And Verse scored at Leicester recently but is rated 20lb higher back on the all-weather and Opera Box looks to be treading water off her current mark. Devon Drum has been alternating between hurdling and the Flat and the Polytrack winner may figure along with recent Sandown fourth Charlie Wells.
