Dovena had her first three races over 7f but didn't show much improvement when stepped up to 1m2f at Chelmsford. THE PUG missed the break and didn't get the run of the race over 1m2f but was running on and will be suited by the extra. Wilpena Pound tries a tried and tested route for his yard, tackling this much longer trip after showing nothing over shorter, and it would be no surprise to see major progress. You Saw Brigadoon has never raced beyond 7f and the remaining pair have shown very little.
