Verdict
Bells Beach, who has winning form over course and distance, showed signs of a return to form in a competitive 5f handicap at Bath last time and should appreciate the extra furlong. Fiamma Royale put up a rare below-par performance last time but has been dropped a 1lb and has claims on earlier placed efforts while Stand By would not need to improve much with the aid of first-time blinkers to figure. Chorus has paid the price for an easy Folkestone win last month but is better treated on the all-weather and enters calculations along with Evening Chase who bounced back to form on turf last time.
