        In depth

        Verdict

        A couple arrive in top form but War Chant was partnered by a 5lb claimer when scoring at Bath and is also 5lb higher in the weights. AZAHARA PALACE (NAP) has been raised 3lb for making a winning handicap debut when successful at Chepstow and she gets the vote with further progress likely. Gold Aura hasn’t raced since a comeback second back in April while Maremma could figure now handicapping.
