      Verdict

      The drop back down in trip and the removal of headgear witnessed MICK’S SPIRIT return an easy winner in novice company here. This is tougher but the third has subsequently won and Conrad Allen’s charge is taken to reverse earlier running over 6f at the track with Desert Lime. The latter has been beaten over 7f since then while Storm Melody has struggled lately having won over track and trip in September. Kath's Lustre slips further down the weights though has proved best at Chelmsford so far.
