Chepstow winner LET ME IN showed further progress with an easy victory here on Thursday. The re-opposing Pour La Victoire was over four lengths back in third and the former looks capable of landing a hat-trick on that evidence. The remainder have shown little so far though Holli Deya and Switch On finished a bit closer last time and Hypnotism and Hispania may do better making their handicap debuts.
