Many step into handicap company for the first time which makes this nursery tricky to unravel. Of those falling into that category, Speed Merchant and Jungle Book make most appeal but both will still need to improve on efforts to date. Lexington Quest is proving frustrating and was beaten in a seller last time whereas Mac Mccarthy produced a notable upgrade when landing a Chelmsford nursery. The latter clearly stays well and has every chance if transferring that improved form to Turf. CHROMIUM is more exposed than most but also has stronger form in the book and is taken as the way to go here with Ellie Mackenzie's 7lb claim a valuable bonus.
