Verdict

Kristal Hart just held on to beat Chefchaouen a neck at Chelmsford three weeks ago. The latter re-opposes on slightly better terms but remains without a win in 14 starts now. BENNELONG won here in October and was narrowly beaten when runner-up back at the track during the week. He can confirm running with Charlie's Star and Evacusafe Lady and go one better. Shirataki's long losing run continues but he showed a bit more at Lingfield last time and Lady D's Rock was placed for the first time on her latest start over 1m4f here.
