In depth
Verdict
Several have been thereabouts of late including recent Chelmsford runner-up Baby Gal though she’s not the most predictable. Popsicle won at Wolverhampton before struggling at Leicester while Suni Dancer was placed over 6f here behind second-placed HARLEQUIN ROSE. The latter has subsequently found one too good again over course and distance and Patrick Chamings’ filly gets another chance today racing off the same mark. Live Dangerously has lost his form since landing a double over track and trip but Confrerie, Arctic Flower and Lady Marigold have all slid down the weights and could bounce back at any time.
