Memphis Bell was due to run yesterday at Chepstow. The progressive Robin Gold is back in a handicap after finishing third in a Listed race at Sandown. Coillte Eile is 5lb lower than for her last win so has to be of interest but Legends Ryde has been disappointing since returning from wind surgery in October. SANDYMOUNT ROSE (NAP) survived a last-flight blunder to score a shade cosily at Exeter. That victory was overdue and she escapes a penalty here with Sam Twiston-Davies taking over the reins. Bond's Lover could be anything after exceeding market expectations at Newbury just over a year ago but the form hasn’t worked out.
