      Verdict

      Mr Curiosity is taking a drop in class and probably wasn't suited by Chester when tackling this trip. Glasses Up is the only distance winner in the line-up and acts on the ground but Liberation Point has never been further than 1m2f. Neither stamina nor going is an issue for Thai Terrier, who has twice won over further than this, while ARCTIC FOX looked like winning over the trip at Haydock when striking the front over 1f out but was caught close home. He can go one better as Big Boy Bobby's only victory came over 1m2f on fast going at Brighton and he's twice been beaten off this 1lb higher mark.
