Verdict
CHANDIGARH is clear at the weights but showed nothing on her reappearance and is dropped in class today. However, she has a C&D victory in her favour and a chance is taken first-time blinkers will bring about a return to form. Llewellyn finally got off the mark with a win on the Turf at Lingfield last week though he needed 7f to do so while Diamond Vine had no chance with the winner when second in a Polytrack claimer last month and can do better here. Kai beat little at Wolverhampton recently and Microlight looks up against it.
