Verdict

Lightening Gesture won easily over today’s trip at Musselburgh last week and is penalised along with Chelmsford maiden winner Gypsy Lady. But ALASKAN WIND can take advantage of the weight concession as she was narrowly beaten at Chepstow a week ago and further progress looks likely. Mark Johnston gets plenty of winners here and Turn Back Time is a newcomer to note along with Unexpected Arrival.
