WANTING was sent off favourite for her racecourse debut at Chelmsford and duly obliged by a cosy two lengths. There should be plenty more to come from her and she is preferred to Little Palaver. The latter won at Lingfield three weeks ago but has been raised 8lb for his trouble while Red Stripes has gone up another 4lb for finishing second at Wolverhampton last time when ahead of State Of The Union. York winner Indescribable returns to action having gone close at Bath when last seen back in September and may figure.
