In depth
Verdict
Seychelloise won two Class 5 handicaps in November but showed how much she had improved when narrowly beaten in handicaps two grades higher at Lingfield. She's well at home on this surface and will make a bold bid to get back to winning ways. PERIL (NAP) made a successful reappearance over this track and trip last June and scored at Ascot and Haydock subsequently. He has a bit of quality about him and looks the one to be on. Crazy Chic has won four races for Marco Botti including on this surface. He can run into a place while Capelita is much better than she showed at Southwell having completed a double there and at Kempton earlier.
