Verdict
Toto Skyllachy beat recent Chelmsford winner Mishrif here back in January but that pair and Megamunch have done all their winning over shorter trips so far. Rochambeau is lightly-raced and Ruth Carr's charges usually handle the Fibresand and the same comment applies to Hughie Morrison, whose Felix Fabulla returns to the track for the first time since 2013. But SELLINGALLTHETIME makes most appeal in this having found only one too good over middle-distances here in both starts this year, including the progressive Tacticus last time. Mike Appleby's charge gets the nod to go one better.
