CHILLI GREEN makes plenty of appeal. John Akehurst's progressive filly won over 7f here in December and returned to winning ways on her first start over a mile last month. There looks more to come from her and she is preferred to Lockantanks, who scored over a mile at Lingfield last time but is upped in class now and racing off a 7lb higher mark here. Highly Regal went close on his latest start though he has a bit to find with Gallantry on earlier running, while Den's Gift is still capable in this company and the decent apprentice Lucy Barry takes 7lb off his back today.
