      Verdict

      Sands Chorus scored over track and trip on his penultimate start but was behind runner-up MULLIGATAWNY (NAP) and the winner Magic City over 1m1f here last time. The latter is upped a further 3lb as he bids for a treble but the former re-opposes on better terms and can come out best on this occasion. Sunglider is upped in class off a higher mark after winning at Beverley and Energia Fox makes more appeal back on faster ground after a below par effort at Chester last time.
