In depth
Verdict
The King's Steed and Rosarno won classified races at the same Chelmsford fixture last week though the latter scored over today’s trip and is preferred. So Claire also won a lowly classified event over 7f at Wolverhampton last month but has been beaten since while Caribbean Spring has a chance back over a mile today. But CALEDONIA LAIRD finished closer at Wolverhampton last time and gets a token vote now back on a winning mark.
