    Verdict

    SLUNOVRAT landed a gamble over track and trip three weeks ago. He has been raised 10lb for his troubles but scored by a convincing five lengths and there should be more to come. The betting also suggested Frederic Chopin was expected to go close over 2m at Kempton last time and he duly obliged but Censorius failed to deliver when sent off favourite at Lingfield on Tuesday. The remainder have shown little to recommend them of late, though Needless Shouting won over hurdles in April.
