Coverham has been placed over a mile at Chelmsford the last twice now while Burren View Lady may well reverse running over 7f at Salisbury with the winner, Crystal Casque. The latter has been beaten subsequently despite escaping a penalty while Executive Force slips further down the handicap though ran below par at Newmarket last time. EARLY DAWN needs to improve but may well do so on only her second start handicapping having seemingly failed to see out the mile trip here last week. Marco Botti’s filly gets a tentative vote in what looks a less competitive affair.
