Espressoo defied a penalty to land the odds at Chelmsford but only beat MIDHEAVEN half-a-length with the latter having her first run of the campaign. On 3lb better terms, the placing may be reversed if David O’Meara’s filly handles the switch to Turf. Heredia defends an unbeaten record and won in a higher grade at Newbury in September. Celtic Empress overcame a tardy start to score at Newmarket eight days ago while Random Harvest was only beaten a head at Haydock a week earlier. Poet's Magic and Divine Magic, however, could both need this.
