Admirable Lad’s winning run came to an end at Chelmsford though that was his first start since September and he’s preferred to Kempton runner-up Lothian, who finished in front of Twilight Mischief. Perfect Symphony’s third here came over the minimum trip while Dazzerling disappointed last time so a chance is taken on REAL ESTATE. The latter has returned to a winning mark having included a course and distance victory in an earlier double on the Polytrack and should be in the mix at the business end.
