Verdict

Unless the newcomer Good To Remember is decent, this should go to CHESS VALLEY. Rae Guest's filly made a successful racecourse debut on this track a year ago and has been competing at a much higher grade than this without being disgraced. Bishan Bedi hasn't been finding much at the business end and could need further while El Duque has been well beaten at this level recently and Vodka Time has gone a long way backwards since her victory in a Newmarket maiden last April.
