Verdict

WELL DICK is up to landing a race like this judged on his Chepstow showing and the point scorer looks the way to go under Brian Hughes. Benign Dictator didn't get a chance to show what he could do on handicap debut after 8 months off at Hereford and remains with potential. Goshhowposh and Solar Sovereign are a couple of others to note in a maiden that should throw up winners.
