Verdict
Kildare-based Gerard O'Leary sent Newgirlintown to Chelmsford on Saturday and the long journey paid off as she stayed on gamely to lead close home. She has a 5lb penalty to contend with as does Maykir for his comfortable victory over a mile here on Tuesday and there should be little between the pair. However, AUNT HELEN looks to have more improvement in her and was going on nicely over an extended 1m1f at Wolverhampton a fortnight ago so she looks the one to be on. Going Native gained her only success in 35 starts on this track last March but is still 4lb higher while Telekinetic has been well beaten since winning over the track and trip early last month.
