Verdict

CHANTELLE took a small step forward when second over C&D on her turf debut 15 days ago and given she should prove sharper for that return from 5 months off, is taken to reverse the form with Trio. Loblolly is back down in grade with first-time cheekpieces added so could also go well.

1	Unbeaten in 2 novice starts on all-weather before runner-up both starts in handicaps, finishing second of 4 to Trio over C&D 15 days ago on turf debut. Didn't look entirely at ease on the track that day but it was her return from 5 months off so a step forward for that could see her back in front. 1st Pick 1 Chantelle Jockey: Jack Gilligan Trainer: Sir Mark Prescott Bt J: Jack Gilligan T: Sir Mark Prescott Bt	97	-	-	-	63%

2	Sole win to date came on all-weather in maiden company last year, but last 4 efforts in handicaps have been solid ones and he now drops back in grade and any progress for first-time cheekpieces could see him prove a real threat. 2nd Pick 2 Loblolly (Ire) Jockey: David Probert Trainer: S.

3	Won over C&D the last twice, most recently beating Chantelle 15 days ago in a slowly-run event. Didn't need to improve for that success and now faces a stiffer test up 5 lb, while her rival from last time has reasons to come on for that outing so she may not be able to confirm the form. 3rd Pick 3 Trio Jockey: Charles Bishop Trainer: Eve Johnson Houghton J: Charles Bishop T: Eve Johnson Houghton	96	-	-	-	40%
