Verdict
It could pay to stick with PRINCE JAI as he bids for a hat-trick on the back of a double over today’s trip at Chelmsford. He’s upped a further 4lb but is still preferred to Magic Mirror, who went close over track and trip on her penultimate start. New Rich will take advantage of a slide down the weights before long but has done all his winning over 6f so far while Chough drops back from a mile and Breathoffreshair remains unexposed.
