Pillars Of Earth won at Chelmsford last month but this is tougher while little separated fourth-placed Classy Dame and Fascinating Lips at the latter track last time with Sunshine Fun, Kingson and Parikarma all finishing further behind. But WHO CARES WINS (NAP) returned from a lay-off with a decent third over track and trip and Alan Kings’ filly can open her account racing off the same mark today and dropping down in class. Allowed may do better over this longer trip handicapping for the first time and is worth a second glance.
