None of these inspire much confidence as Pontefract winner Chikoko Trail was well beaten off today’s mark last time and Rampant Lion finished last of four when favourite at Haydock recently. Carlini has struggled since scoring at Windsor in June while Crystal Casque is looking for a first win though finished closer at Kempton on her latest start. BLANCHEFLEUR is also getting nearer as she slips down the weights and, given this is easier than her latest task at Newbury, the Hannon filly gets the nod to open her account.
