A Little Chaos has yet to win in handicap company but she’s a consistent type and should be in the firing-line if recent wind surgery has brought her forward. Barbados Blue has been very lightly raced and connections will have been waiting for this better ground. LASKADINE’s recent improvement has come on much softer surfaces but she’s in the form of her life and, due to go up 9lb next week, Ben Haslam’s mare can defy a 7lb penalty and complete the hat-trick. Burren Walk was second at Fontwell when last seen but an opening mark of 113 looks harsh.
