HEAVENLY HOLLY carries a penalty for winning at Chelsmford but returned a cosy winner over today’s trip and Hugo Palmer’s filly is expected to make another bold bid. Stand N Deliver finished strongly over 6f at Kempton on her debut and should appreciate this extra distance while Sunshine Coast also steps up in trip in first-time headgear having disappointed when sent off favourite at Kempton last week. My Town Chicago has already undergone wind surgery but is related to winners on the all-weather and won’t need to be anything out of the ordinary to get involved on his debut.
