It was a modest affair that The Burnham Mare won at Chelmsford but Hollie Doyle again takes off 7lb. Bonjour Steve continues his tumble down the weights but remains out of sorts. Leicester winner Addicted To Luck couldn't cope off her new mark next time but Head Space continues to knock on the door and should make a bold bid to end his losing run. SIR THEODORE should benefit for the drop back to 5f and likes some cut in the ground - he just gets the nod.
