Verdict

CILL MOCHEALLOG had been working his way back to form since being fitted with blinkers and gained a belated first success for this yard last time. He edges the verdict in a competitive race, with the James Owen pair No Knee Never - who had several of his rivals in behind when scoring at C&D last month - and Simply Blue also high on the shortlist.
