In depth
Verdict
Rural Affair had Miss Lawless back in fourth when landing a seller in soft ground at Nottingham but this is tougher. Chanceuse recorded her only win so far in a plating race over 6f so it could pay to stick with last week's course and distance winner SLINKY MCVELVET. She beat higher rated rivals in a claimer and, despite a penalty, can follow up with a similar effort. Wilberfoss and Columbian Roulette are hard to fancy on what little they've shown to date.
