Verdict
Crotchet is penalised after making a winning debut over 5f at Nottingham back in August. Lady Willpower gets closer with every start and Zahraa posted a better effort at Kempton last time but PERFECT THOUGHT (NAP) is preferred. The latter found only one too good over today’s trip at Chelmsford on her latest start and should have the measure of Kirbec, Lady Anjorica and Salire on these terms. Chantresse ran well on an earlier debut at Haydock only to disappoint last time.
