      Verdict

      GIVEN CHOICE (NAP) never looked like catching the winner when runner-up over today’s trip at Chelmsford but that was a much tougher race than this. Simon Crisford’s filly gets another chance racing off the same mark in this lower grade. Winning hurdler Tidal Watch is not badly treated attempting to win on the Flat for the first time and finished in front Falcon Cliffs when fourth over 2m at Lingfield while the consistent Yasir won over 1m4f here recently and should also go well raised only 2lb. Jack Bear arrives in woeful form but sports a first-time visor having won last year’s renewal off a higher mark and is preferred to Dream Magic.
