The penny finally dropped with DEALER’S CHOICE sporting first-time cheekpieces in a maiden race at Lingfield. She dotted-up by eight lengths and the handicapper has taken a chance leaving Roger Varian’s filly on the same mark. Storm Cry was placed yet again at Epsom last week and patience has run out with her but Rely On Me drops back to 6f for the first time since winning a maiden at Doncaster last year. Honeysuckle Lil has been back on a winning mark for some time and is preferred to the remainder as she also returns to 6f.
