Verdict
MR CHUA was beaten only a neck over today’s trip on the Turf course at Lingfield on his first outing after wind surgery. He can confirm latest running with Nafaayes and open his account. Peckinpah returned to the Flat with a fourth at Kempton and may figure but Mr Fox is upped in class having finished fourth at Chelmsford. Master Milliner returns to action having placed over 1m4f on his handicap debut and High Wells ran well at Haydock on his first outing since 2018 having won off today’s mark in the past.
