The booking of Harry Davies appears eye-catching aboard ALL ABOUT ALICE and the trip really should be of no issue to the recent Lingfield scorer. Das Kapital bombed out badly on his last visit to Chelmsford but the fact there was money for John Berry’s gelding suggests that he isn’t one to dismiss lightly on tonight’s return visit. Dame Sarra steps up in trip having shaped at Wolverhampton as if she would be likely to appreciate it. Shadowfax is sure to be popular having gone close last week while Two Plus Two produced a fair effort at Lingfield on his most recent start and rates of interest from what is a very lowly mark.
