Verdict

A trappy handicap to conclude the card with the tentative vote going to GREAT CHIEFTAIN, who's back down to his last successful mark and goes very well over C&D. Mythical Guest hasn't won for a long time but tends to give his running more often than not and is also capable fresh, with the class-dropping Arisaig completing the shortlist.
