Delft Dancer made a reasonable debut over course and distance last month and showed more than Chitra did at Chelmsford but it wasn’t an eye-catching performance. Spell was a £47,000 yearling and is from a stable that gets plenty of early two-year-old winners but SKEETAH went for £58,000 after impressing at the Breeze-Up sales recently and, being a half-sister to a two-year-old winner, might be the one to be on. Red Handed may need further than this.
Chitra 25-1 (8-12) Close up, ridden and headway to chase winner over 1f out, no impression and lost 2 places inside final furlong, 4th of 6, 3 1/4l behind Lady Prancealot (8-11) at Chelmsford City 5f fll stks (5) pol in Apr.
Delft Dancer 4-1 (8-11) Dwelt close up in 4th, ridden over 1f out, stayed on towards finish, 3rd of 4, 1 1/4l behind Hua Hin (9-2) at Nottingham 5f stks (5) gs in Apr.
