Where You At finished strongly for third over track and trip having lost his position early in the race. He still finished ahead of Star Of Screen and Book of Secrets while Mickydee showed no progress for the step up to today’s trip at Chelmsford. Coupe De Champagne is preferred to stablemate Myrtle Maclagan as she steps up in distance having placed over a mile but VICTIM may also improve for this longer trip despite having won over 7f in novice company and Richard Fahey’s colt gets a speculative vote in an open affair.
