Now Listen Here can race off the same mark as when third at Fontwell last time and should figure again. But SWEET ‘N’CHIC finished a distance clear of the rest when just missing out over track and trip on her latest start and Richard Rowe’s mare gets the nod. Mogestic finished runner-up at Fontwell last time but that was nearly a year ago and Tactical Manoeuvre already looked beaten when brought down at Taunton recently. Good News ran well for a long way when favourite at Kempton and slips further down the weights.
