Verdict
Andalusite and the returning Ettie Hart have to give plenty of weight to the younger horses as both step up in trip. The latter group don’t make much appeal either, though LATEST QUEST tumbled down the handicap last year and gets a token vote on that basis. How's Lucy went close at Chelmsford in November but quickly reverted to her more usual modest efforts and the remainder are even harder to fancy.
