Verdict
Chelmsford novice winner CREME DE CACAO has been off the track since placing at Southwell on her handicap debut but has more scope than most of these. Chifa went close over track and trip with Epic Express behind last week while Chalk Mountain won at Wolverhampton last month and Granary Queen posted one of her better efforts at the same track last time.
