Verdict

CHINWAG was better than the bare result on his return last month, travelling well before failing to stay the longer trip, so he can get back to winning ways dropped back in distance with cheekpieces on for the first time. Easy As That should benefit from going over further on only his second start over fences and is feared most, ahead of Ubetya.
