LADYWOOD opened her account stepped up to 1m2f at Chelmsford and there should be more to come over today’s trip. Mark Johnston’s filly beat several of these including the unexposed pair Complexo and Pocketeer with Baby Sham and Baroness Rachael further behind. Ghostly finished closer over a shorter trip here recently when ahead of Classy Dame but the remainder make no appeal unless the likes of Princess Elektra and Eaux De Vie improve now handicapping.
