Few make any appeal and both Lucky Violet and Chains Of Love were due to run yesterday at Ayr and Leicester respectively. Wall Of Sapphire never figured at Thirsk last time having won at Windsor earlier while Midnight Vixen was placed at Redcar last week having scored at Newcastle in April. But IVORY CHARM is less exposed and after finding only one too good at Redcar on her latest start, Richard Fahey’s filly may prove good enough in this with any further progress. Eesha's Smile will appreciate the drop back down in distance but Irish raider Bobby Jean will find today’s trip short enough.
