Verdict
Chilly Miss got off the mark at Cartmel at the fourth time of asking and that should have boosted her confidence. Java Rose and Western Diva would have each-way claims but Chebsey Beau and Revolutionary Road are returning from lengthy absences and Hawdyerwheesht was due to run yesterday at Stratford. GOLD CLASS (NAP) has yet to hit the bulls-eye in 10 tries over hurdles but Robbie Hennessy's four-year-old may well be the pick of the weights in this on his latest fourth at Bellewstown, where he was only beaten a length. Spitz is preferred to returning chaser Workbench and Morning With Ivan of the others.
