SETTLE PETAL continued her improvement with last month’s course and distance success and there looks more to come from her this year. Chetan is more exposed though won off a higher mark at Chelmsford last term and Tee It Up Tommo is also back on a winning mark. Dukes Meadow is not badly weighted and Dark Freedom is usually thereabouts in this grade while Cross Swords and Desert Trip are more lightly-raced types to keep an eye on.
