Verdict
Independence Day landed a gamble at Chelmsford on his reappearance though the handicapper was not amused and has raised him 13lb. TIGERWOLF escapes a penalty for winning an apprentices’ race at Wolverhampton last week and Mark Loughnane’s charge can go in again. Duke Cosimo has a shout back on the all-weather judged on an earlier placed effort at Chelmsford while the likes of Bouclier, Meshardal and Kingofmerrow are all looking to return to form having slipped down the weights.
