Plenty with claims in something of a lottery but Chelmsford maiden winner LABHAY is the least exposed and the Haggas filly gets the vote to find further improvement now handicapping. Ifubelieveindreams also has scope after winning over 7f at Chelmsford and Cape To Cuba is another maiden winner to consider. Dealer's Choice is upped 4lb for winning over 7f here while Bint Dandy and Hawatif both went close over a mile at Kempton on their respective latest starts and Lady Perigin is not out of this either.
