Little Sunflower won over 6f at Lingfield earlier and went close over 7f at the same track last time. Hooves Like Jagger finished closer at Kempton still looking for his first win but the unexposed SPIRITUOSO gets another chance. She struggled over 1m2f last time but was beaten only a neck over today’s trip at Chelmsford before that. React has shown little so far including on his reappearance at Wolverhampton but the unexposed Bahia Star makes her handicap debut.
