Verdict

Chasma ended the last campaign with a victory at Sedgefield and reappeared to defy an 8lb rise at Southwell. She didn't run up to that form at Leicester last month so could be a bit high in the weights. STOICAL PATIENT showed nothing before changing stables and dropping back in trip over fences, completing a hat-trick before falling at Plumpton where she had just been joined. She's 9lb higher than her last victory and up in class but this isn't the toughest of handicaps and she can get back to winning ways. Easter In Paris is still 6lb higher than her only victory in a lower-grade contest at Hereford. Dual hurdles winner Flemerina made a satisfactory debut over fences at Sedgefield and should have come on enough to get competitive but Appletree Lane didn't show much on her chasing bow at Huntingdon.
