5/2
Returned to form at Wolverhampton earlier this month but exposed as ordinary and can be frustrating to follow. Won over 1m at this course but has a stiff test from a 5lb higher mark.

7/1
Still 2lb higher than her last winning mark, so has a bit to prove. The step up in trip will be in her favour but this appears to be her least success hunting ground amongst the AW tracks.

9/1
Capable on Turf but has yet to convince that she is as good on the AW surfaces. The trip isn't a problem but still best watched on his first visit to Chelmsford.

15/8
Useful over sprint distances last season but form tailed off towards the end of the campaign. Likely to be kept busy to pay her way this term, she does have scope for improvement at the trip and, as she is bred to appreciate the surface, she would ba dangerous to rule out.

Steadily improving and worth another try over this trip. The first-time head gear may help to keep her focused but she does have a little find in this company.

Forecasts

La Casa Tarifa (15/8), East Coast Lady (5/2), Zilza (3/1), The Yellow Bus (7/2), Be Royale (7/1), Iceaxe (9/1)

Verdict

The quick reappearance of THE YELLOW BUS is taken a significant hint and she is forwarded as the safest option in tricky handicap. She wasn't beaten far at Kempton on Thursday and will be hard to beat with a more determined effort. La Casa Tarifa has solid form to her name and will be a threat if her stamina holds out, while Be Royale on the other hand, will relish the return to 7f but needs to conclusively prove she handles this particular course.
  1. The Yellow Bus
  2. La Casa Tarifa
  3. Be Royale
