Verdict
Prince Achille won over track and trip when dropped back down in distance and beat previous Chelmsford winner Oscar Doodle in the process. Spirit Of Ash returned a beaten favourite last week having won here earlier but ELSHAAMEQ posted his best effort since runner-up here last year when fourth in a higher grade over course and distance and it could be his turn today. Reflex and Crafter are others to note.
