    Verdict

    CHAPEL FLOWERS is a confident call against You And I and Viable. Tim Vaughan's charge steps back up to two and a half miles having won recently over two. That should represent few worries as he has already scored over this trip this term. He seems effective on any surface. You And I has taken on much better opposition than this in the past. In receipt of all the allowances, he is likely to be popular though he has questions to answer after he finished tailed off on his latest start. Connections have waited four months to see if anything has come to light and the betting will be indicative. Viable is a regular in races of this nature. He can pull a little too hard for his own good so Gina Andrews will need to secure some early cover. Cockatoo demonstrated early promise on fast ground though recent runs have provided very little to write home about. Chapel Flowers continues to be progressive and he can pass this examination of his credentials.
