CHELSEA MORNING is in a rich vein of form and can follow-up her recent resounding Ripon romp now sent handicapping, while Mujdeya may prove the chief danger. The selection was stepped up to this trip at the Yorkshire track and responded with a nine-length success, with runner-up Ceoil An Aith re-opposing on just 1lb better terms and facing an arduous task, in spite of a confidence-boosting win last time. Newbury maiden scorer Mujdeya failed to follow-up from today's mark of 85 when tried in a Chester handicap last time, but she is improving and far from discounted in this. Anice Stellato is below her winning mark from last term but has a bit to prove on recent evidence and Chelsea Morning is the one for us.
