        Verdict

        Chanceuse was still beaten five lengths when third at Chelmsford last time and Oak Bluffs never looked like catching the winner when runner-up over track and trip on his latest start. But INDIAN AFFAIR only just missed out over course and distance last time and Milton Bradley's charge gets another chance racing off the same mark today. The remainder have shown nothing to recommend them of late, though Forbidden City was placed at Dundalk in 2012 and returns to action for new connections here.
