        Verdict

        Chivalry showed little as a juvenile but as a result started the current campaign on a very lenient mark which his astute handler has exploited in typical fashion. The son of Mark Of Esteem completed a four-timer at Hamilton earlier this month in impressive style and looks to have further improvement to come so a subsequent 13lb rise may not be enough to stop him going in once again. Raybaan confirmed the promise of recent placed efforts when getting up close home at Redcar last time but may not appreciate the return to this trip even on this stiff track and may struggle to confirm form with the runner-up, Market Avenue, on 1lb worse terms.
