Show Palace bids for hat-trick after landing similar low grade handicaps over 5f at Newcastle and then here. But MODEST found only one too good over today's distance at Chelmsford in August and Michael Bell's filly gets the vote on that form. Magical Spring was still beaten a long way when placed in a claimer at Beverley last time and the handicap debutants make more appeal with the likes of Fumata Bianca, Wizardess and Rise Up Singing all worth noting for any significant support in the betting.
