Verdict

GUARDS CHAPEL was raised 8lb for February's victory at Kempton but has gone close on a couple of occasions since. Giving today's rival Hoonose 18lb at Wolverhampton last month proved beyond him, but Gary Moore's charge re-opposes on better terms and can reverse running. Hoonose is up another 5lb for his latest win while collateral form with Llamadas gives Bramshill Lass the edge over Bold Adventure and Dr Finley. El Libertador has been well beaten in previous attempts over today's distance but Celtic Charlie has been placed off lower marks over 2m before.
