KHELEY could only manage third-place when returning to 6f on the Polytrack at Wolverhampton on Friday and it's beginning to look as though she saves her best for this C&D. The winner of two of her last three starts at this track, Mark Brisbourne's mare can return to winning ways here, confirming recent form with both Pinball and Cheveyo in the process. Best One and Dispol Grand have the past form to figure but their recent efforts leave plenty to be desired and it's difficult to make a credible case for any of the remainder.
