        Verdict

        Nafaath very rarely wins on the Flat though he did manage to score over hurdles at Sedgefield in November. CHAUVELIN can take this as he's been in good form all summer in low class company and won a seller at Beverley last month when Hero's Story was 5l behind. The latter is better over this longer trip but still has ground to make up. Question Of Faith has never won on the Flat though did score over timber at Ayr in February and has been racing over trips too short.
