CHAIN OF OFFICE is open to more improvement than most and gets the nod ahead of Creevy and City Vaults Girl. The last named has been well backed in three of her four previous starts but has failed to live up expectations. It may simply be a case of finding the right race for her and her loyal followers could do worse than give her another chance at this level. Creevy comes here on the back of her best effort to date; she was second in a similar contest at Warwick three weeks ago. Outsiders have a good record in this race, so fancy odds may be no barrier to success today. Branderburgo is another worth a mention, as he has experience of racing at Yarmouth and can at least make the frame if the cheeckpieces remain effective on him today. However, it's Chain Of Office that stands out as the one with the most scope and, having won despite being green on debut; the William Haggas-trained filly is fancied to take this latest test in her stride.
