Narrowly beaten at Catterick last week, CHITRA has already won a couple of handicaps and beat Kermouster when scoring at Redcar last month. She’s taken to confirm running despite the slightly worse terms as the latter never threatened when runner-up again at Chelmsford subsequently. Highjacked posted a better effort at Redcar on his handicap bow and should go well while a host of these go handicapping for the first time with the likes of Alotabottle, Gainsborough Hat, No Bills and Mattymiller all worth a second glance in the betting.
