This looks tricky with last month’s course and distance winner Coastline upped in class and sharing ownership with Scentasia, who drops back down in distance after placed efforts over 1m2f. ROMOLA is another returning to a mile and has every chance on a third in Class 2 company at Chelmsford in June. Collateral form gives Sir Michael Stoute’s filly the beating of Dupioni and she gets the vote in this lower grade. The latter is upped in distance today but is preferred to Bint Dandy, placed here last time.
