In depth
Verdict
Chip'n'Pin is taken to get the better of Ruthless Philly and Charming Prospect in an open handicap. After some moderate efoorts as a two-year-old, Golden Prospect left those efforts when scoring on his handicap bow at Warwick. He has been raised six pounds for that neck success, and may find that too much of a handicap. Ruthless Philly is another to have left her two-year-old form behind, and she has been placed on her last two starts. She can play a part here, but has looked a little one paced in the closing stages of her races. Chip N Pin has shown gradual improvement and with the Tim Easterby yard in good form she has a good chance to maintain that improvement off an attractive handicap mark. Chip N Pin can lose her maiden tag.
