Verdict
CHAIRMANIC attempted to make all in a similar race over 7f at Haydock last week but was caught right on the line. Today's trip can enable him to get off the mark as Lexington Dash was a beaten odds-on favourite at Newcastle and Chelmsford at the turn of the year. Recall The Show ran some very good races in Ireland for Jessica Harrington last summer while Don't Tell Claire, beaten 14 lengths behind Cry Havoc at Kempon in November, was beaten a neck by that winner when a 100/1 chance at Chelmsford last week. Fresh never got competitive at Kempton earlier this month but should have come on for the run.
