        Verdict

        JORVIK PRINCE continues to defy the handicapper and shrugged off his most recent 7lb rise to win easily at Chelmsford. He’s worth sticking with until beaten. Roundabout Magic drops in class after scoring over track and trip when reversing earlier form with Temple Road while Look Surprised went close over the minimum trip at Wolverhampton before struggling over 6f. Ask The Guru won at Kempton in October and pops-up at this level when in the mood.
