NELLIE FRENCH bids for a hat-trick of course and distance wins having been given plenty to do last time. She may still be ahead of the handicapper on that evidence and has already beaten several of these including last year’s winner Solar Park, Valentine Blues, Island Memory and Thegreyvtrain. The latter has subsequently won at Lingfield and also beat recent Southwell winner Red Allure here back in December. Glorious Charmer may prove best of the rest returning to the minimum trip for this.
