Monsieur Fantaisie had every chance at Chelmsford yesterday while it was fast ground when Andre Amar went close at Brighton back in August and when Rhubarb won at Chepstow last month. Babe Alicious has been thereabouts over 7f recently but Blue Venture still looks high enough in the weights and CREEK HARBOUR is preferred. The latter has slipped down the handicap and having led for most of the way over a longer trip at Wolverhampton last time, he gets the vote.
