LUMACHO was conceding Destiny's Spirit 3lb when beating her just under a length at Chepstow and has since followed up at Chelmsford. The latter will be 3lb better off but the positions can be confirmed. Baaraka has been showing pace without really threatening but the main danger could come from Jumra, who has been leading for a long way over 6f before fading.
