Karma Chameleon landed a hat-trick when scoring at Southwell last time and is 6lb higher today. He beat Quixote over C&D before that and the latter had earlier finished behind today's rival Maybeagrey at this track. Tim Easterby's filly has been raised another 4lb for that but, with the above pair hard to separate and likely to dominate the betting, FOURSQUARE FUNTIME could prove better value. He makes his handicap debut after a close-up second over C&D last month and Reg Hollinshead's charge has plenty of scope for improvement. Chelsea Mick makes most appeal of the remaining trio.
