CHESTER'SLITTLEGEM is trying her best to end a long losing run. She went close again over course and distance last week and may finally come good today.

Little China won a seller on the all-weather last month and is preferred to the veteran Almaty Express, who is 5lb higher than when scoring over 6f at Catterick recently.
