TRUMBLE continued his rapid progress when landing a hat-trick of wins over today’s trip at Chelmsford. He won with plenty left in the tank last time and a further 8lb rise may not be enough to anchor him in this. Misty Grey won this last year but is 4lb higher having placed in a Listed contest last month while Spycatcher also returns to handicapping having gone close in a conditions' race at Lingfield. Novice winner Arctician makes his handicap debut and may improve past the likes of Volatile Analyst and Abolish.
