        Verdict

        CHAI CHAI experienced trouble in running when making his handicap debut last time out and he can make amends in this competitive looking nursery. The selection was beaten just 2L on that occasion and can register his first victory at the fifth time of asking dropped in grade here. George carries top weight here having finished runner-up in a nursery last time out and he shaped as if this step up to 7f would suit on that occasion and can chase the selection home today whilst Tig Tog who suffered a heavy defeat in a valuable contest last time can take third for last years winning trainer.
