Verdict
CHABADA is worth sticking with here. She followed-up a maiden win at Southwell with a convincing victory over C&D on her handicap debut and there should be more to come from Ian Williams' filly on only her fourth start. The old trooper Halla San showed a bit more when runner-up at Southwell last month but The Lock Master makes more appeal on his first attempt at today's trip, while Where's Susie has been running well without success since scoring at Lingfield in November. Maison Brillet was placed over track and trip last month but this is tougher.
