Verdict

Chilli Romance tries again having finished runner-up four times in a row. She was beaten three lengths by Floral Queen here 11 days ago but is now 5lb better off. It will be interesting to see how the three-year-old Repetitio fares against older horses but he was beaten 15 lengths when second here last time and now sports a hood. Clearly Capable will probably need this but veteran Ladies Dancing will probably run his race again and Pokari is not without ability. TIKKINTHEBOX races off a much higher mark over fences and likes it here so gets a tentative vote, despite shouldering top weight.
