      Verdict

      Ceyhan proved a disappointment when odds-on at Kempton last time and finishing a well-beaten third. This looks easier on the face of it but a chance is taken on BIG COUNTRY, despite returning from a lay-off. He’s joined Mike Appleby’s yard having run well on more than one occasion in Ireland last year with a fourth at the Curragh his best effort. Red Hot Chilly returns to the Flat after an unsuccessful spell over hurdles and Paris Bound debuts under this code after a couple of outings in bumpers.
