Verdict

A subtle change of headgear from cheekpieces to blinkers may have been responsible for IT’S NOT UNUSUAL opening her account at Chelmsford. She returned an easy winner and a penalty may not be enough to anchor her in this. Final Attack just held on over track and trip last time and is 3lb higher today while Abushamah went close over 7f at Redcar and looks to end a long losing run. Caledonia Laird and Island Flame have gone close here recently and No Approval is not out of this back on the all-weather.
