In depth
Verdict
Ziggys Star has obvious claims upped only 3lb for winning over today's trip at Chelmsford. Sewn Up failed to cope off today's mark last time having won over 6f here earlier while Summerinthecity and Admirable Art won their penultimate starts, though both finished last on their latest outings. Lucky Lodge has won off similar marks here before but the vote goes to Irish raider CORECZKA, who went close under Tony Hamilton at Ayr during the summer and has subsequently won on the all-weather at Dundalk.
