Rated 87, New Definition has every chance on these terms but that was also the case when failing to land the odds at Chelmsford last time. Brabusach steps up from 6f while Starproof found a couple of Godolphin horses too good when third here last week. But MEDICI CHAPEL had the measure of Admiral Jack when going close at Southwell last time and the Gosdens’ filly is taken to overcome a wide draw and come out best. Garrick Street is related to a host of winners and Born Ruler looks best of his yard’s three newcomers.
