Verdict
CHAIN OF EVENTS beat previous course winner Zambeasy by a couple of lengths over track and trip last time and Michael Wigham's charge gets the nod to go in again. Muraabit won in this grade at Ffos Las last month and Symphony Of Kings scored in testing ground at Brighton last time having been beaten by Zambeasy here earlier. Oasis Spear makes his handicap bow after winning at Wolverhampton and can figure while Sonnolento, Cayuga and Silver Dixie are others with a shout in a wide-open contest.
