In depth
Verdict
Cozone was placed yet again when runner-up at Salisbury and could only manage third under today’s apprentice before that but CHAI YO POWER (NAP) came good at Windsor last month and Sir Michael Stoute’s charge looks the one to beat in this lower grade raised only 2lb. Dreams Unwind wasn’t beaten far at Carlisle having won at the same track earlier but Rafiot is fitted with blinkers after a poor effort at Kempton and cheekpieces are applied to the disappointing Midfield.
