Verdict
All four can be given a chance. The progressive Emmpressive Lady bids for a hat-trick penalised for winning at Exeter earlier in the week while Bellatrixsa also makes a quick reappearance on the back of scoring at Ludlow a week ago. Coquelicot recorded her Chepstow success back in November but another chance goes to ANYTHINGFORLOVE (NAP). The latter struggled in Grade 2 company last time but separated higher rated horses than these when runner-up in a Listed contest at Sandown before that and gets the vote back in a handicap with Jamie Snowden’s yard in top form.
