Foreign Legion won in this lowly grade at Chelmsford last week but that was over a mile and a host of these have been threatening to score over today’s trip. That list includes LE MANEGE ENCHANTE, beaten only a head at Chelmsford last time and getting a speculative vote in this. Nuzha is another recently placed at the latter track while Isabella Ruby has been thereabouts at Wolverhampton. Monarch Maid finished in front of Compton Prince when third over track and trip earlier in the week and is another to consider.
