Verdict
The betting suggested PETITE MALLE (NAP) would appreciate the step up to today’s trip at Chelmsford last time and she duly returned a winning favourite. There looks more to come from James Fanshawe’s filly over middle-distances and she can go in again. Mina Vagante will be winning before long judged on recent placed efforts while Venusta drops in class today and both are preferred to Uncertain Smile. Angel's Whisper can figure if lasting home but Falcon Cliffs needs further nowadays and hasn’t raced since March.
