Verdict

Lisselan Pleasure saves her best for Brighton and it was heavy ground when Femme Royale finished runner-up at Ffos Las recently. CHAPTER NINE finished third in a Brighton seller on his first start for Seamus Mullins but this isn't any better and he was rated much higher in Ireland at this time last year. He gets the token vote with the remainder hard to fancy unless Indian Blossom is capable of better than she's shown in four starts to date.
