Verdict

A case can be made for most of these with a speculative vote going to CHELSEA LAD. He was four lengths clear of the rest when runner-up at Doncaster on last month’s reappearance. Storm Rising was also placed at Doncaster a week ago and can race off the same mark while War Story won a maiden race at Chelmsford on his return to action. Barleysugar ran well at Lingfield last month and steps up in trip and Show Me Again went close in this grade at the same track in December. Dream Of Summer is upped in class for his comeback and Zzoro won at Wolverhampton the last time he raced over a similar trip.
