Chloellie continued her good progress with a victory over track and trip in November while Chica De La Noche ended a frustrating run of placed efforts when scoring at Lingfield and narrowly beating Violet's Lads in the process. Caledonia Duchess went close over a mile at Chelmsford last week and Natalie Express ended last year season prematurely with a placed effort at Doncaster in July. AUTUMN LEAVES has yet to win on the all-weather but has been competing in tougher races than this over longer trips. Today’s drop in class and return to 7f could see her go close having won off higher marks on the Turf.
