It what looks a tight competitive handicap, it may be worth chancing CHELABELLA on her first start for this yard. While she doesn't have much recent form that entitles her to consideration, her runner-up effort at Lingfield on her third start is an interesting piece of form and she would be well-handicapped if she reproduced that effort; a change of scenery/break might have freshened her up. Ejayteekay is another that has fitness questions to answer returning from an absence but the trainer has a good strike-rate at this course and his filly shouldn't be ruled out. Ixelles Diamond is very-well handicapped on the form that saw her win at Epsom in 2014 but she wouldn't want to give her rivals a head-start around this track, something that has become a trait in her races.
