TRIMOULET has been gradually improving and went to Chelmsford last week with a favourite's chance and duly obliged. There looks to be much more to come so a 5lb rise in the weights shouldn't prevent a quick double. Cabuchon has one all-weather victory to his credit in 26 starts, at Lingfield a year ago. He's consistent enough at this sort of level and can add to his place tally. Irish raider Habesh ran poorly at Dundalk on Friday but his earlier runs there point to his chances here and he could provide the main threat. Mazij won over the course and distance a month ago then found an extra furlong just stretching her stamina at Lingfield where she was in the lead at this trip so she's another who can go well.
