In depth

Verdict

Invade was not far ahead of Saved My Bacon when landing a lower grade sprint at Chelmsford last time with Alhella well behind. Elusive Ellen also steps up in class off a 6lb higher mark having scored over track and trip in June but Diamond Lady remains 5lb higher than her win here in November and Pixeleen hasn’t raced since September having won twice over 5f last year. GLASTONBERRY (NAP) has failed to figure over 7f recently but was beaten only a length in this grade over 6f at Kempton before that. She should go close off a 4lb lower mark today.
