Big Impact and Big Bard won their respective divisions of a handicap at Chelmsford last week. Both are penalised thought the latter is less exposed. Cappananty Con has placed on his last couple of visits to this venue and finished ahead of Essaka when runner-up last time but it could be the turn of CAMPACHOOCHOO today. Robyn Brisland’s filly has tumbled 20lb down the weights this year and suggested she’d be winning soon when third here on her latest start. Lady Amalthea has switched yards still looking for her first win.
