In depth
Verdict
Another moderate contest concludes the action at Edinburgh and Chevin can land the hat-trick with Repulse Bay and Chaka Zulu others to consider. Chevin has made the most of a very attractive mark and fits the profile of a typical improver from a shrewd yard. Serena Brotherton is riding on the crest of a wave at the moment and she can steer another winner home if all goes to plan. Repulse Bay has strong claims on the pick of his form and has to be respected. Where as a strong case can be Chaka Zulu if he consents to put in something like his best. But as that cannot be guaranteed, it may be best to stick with Chevin whilst his confidence is still on a high.
