    Verdict

    Dark Lane, with his career record standing at 13 wins from 94 starts, faces the starter for the 17th time this year and should, as usual, produce a solid performance. He got the better of JOYOUS when scoring at Windsor but the Ivory charge is taken to reverse placings this time round. The daughter of Assertive, still a maiden, has shown potential on all seven career starts and was having a first run since January when only a length and a half behind Dark Lane on that occasion. Richard Hughes is a significant booking, she's better off at the weights and can land a first career success. Only Ten Per Cent and Picansort have won 14 races between them but not one has been on Turf, whilst Picc Of Burgau, modest last time, has claims on a previous Chepstow success. Lead A Merry Dance is unexposed with place claims on only her fifth start.
