This looks tight with both Evince and Lumi expected to improve for last month’s respective debut efforts when both finished third over 7f here. But CHLORIS is just preferred despite failing to threaten when placed over today’s trip at Lingfield last time as the winner is now rated 85 and that should be strong enough form to land this. The newcomers further complicate matters with David Simcock running both Imperial Act and Skirrid Hill with the 120,000gns purchase Galmarley another to keep an eye on.
