This is no improvement on the previous division with a token vote going to RANDALL’S ALANNAH on the back of a second over today’s trip at Chelmsford. Ertidaad is usually thereabouts at this level but remains without a win in 18 attempts while Coolcalmcollected won over 7f at Salisbury in October but has yet to score on the all-weather. Monsieur Valentine’s earlier success at Brighton came in a seller and Presto Boy was placed over 6f last time but has now had 27 starts without winning.
