In depth

Verdict

Croeso Cymraeg won a lowly classified event at Chelmsford to land a double though is worse off with Qayed having beaten the latter at Wolverhampton before that. Lady Of Authority has beaten Qayed at the same track subsequently but had earlier finished behind Kingfast, who has since placed at Leicester. DIAMOND REFLECTION went close over 1m3f here last month with a subsequent winner behind. This looks easier and Alexandra Dunn’s charge is taken to go one better.
