OKAMI (NAP) needed every yard of the 6f at Chelmsford to get his head in front at the line. Roger Varian’s charge should stay this extra distance on that evidence and is only 2lb higher. Musical Tribute returns to 7f on the back of placed efforts in handicaps on the Turf while Miss Gallagher finished runner-up over track and trip last time. Intricate Pillar can do better back on this surface and Change Sings makes his handicap debut.
