Chapelli drops in class and makes her handicap debut on her return. She’ll likely fight for the lead with the front-running Oberyn Martell, who has an outing at Wolverhampton under his belt. Ventura Ocean also made all when landing a novices race over track and trip in August and the likely fast pace should play into the hands of LORTON (NAP). Julie Camacho’s filly ended last year with victory in a valuable sales race at Newmarket in October and there should be plenty more to come this season now handicapping for the first time. Dahawi landed a double in novice company over today’s trip before beaten over 7f in a handicap while both Edgewood and Fair Alibi face tougher tasks having placed on the all-weather last month.
