London Grammar travelled strongly for a long way in a Chepstow nursery last week. She'd won a claimer over a mile here previously but, like several of these, looks fully exposed and won’t be helped by a wide draw. Having returned to winning ways in a seller over this trip at Leicester, Chevalier du Lac has the highest rating of these and should be thereabouts but Coco La Belle didn't look to be crying out for an extra furlong when second over 6f at Ripon. TEXAS KATIE has already run 10 times but she landed a maiden at Wolverhampton the last time she raced in this grade and stepping back up to 7f should be in her favour, though she should have the pace to take advantage of an inside draw.
