Verdict

Hiromichi made all to land a double over 7f when scoring at Chelmsford but course regular CONNIE’S ROSE notched-up a double at this venue in July including a victory over track and trip and chance is taken she handles the softer going. Winnetka is preferred to Grey Galleon on this surface while Danah Star debuts for a new yard having raced only five times in France.
