Several have decent claims though Narjes was second over a mile here last time and Private Cashier’s improved effort at Kempton came over the same distance. Edge Of The World moves in the opposite direction having been placed over 6f at Leicester but Dance Teacher finished runner-up over 7f at Newmarket last week and can race off the same mark. TOY THEATRE was narrowly beaten over today’s trip at Chelmsford last time and won a higher grade race at Newmarket last year when partnered by Silvestre De Sousa. The latter is back on board today and Mick Appleby’s filly gets the nod.
