In depth

Verdict

Mount Cheiron remains on a winning mark raised only 3lb after scoring here last month and could go close again. But a chance is taken on CITISONSMITH finally losing his maiden tag having finished runner-up over track and trip last time and beating Little Choosey and Luv U Lucky in the process. El Duque has been thereabouts in plating races recently and this isn’t any tougher and Edge can be given a chance off his current mark on the back of a recent comeback run at Brighton.
