CERTIFIED won on her debut at Chelmsford in November and could be anything. The second and third both won next time so the form has worked out and James Tate's filly is taken to double her tally. Avalanche Express has been placed on Turf and Polytrack and should be winning soon. Light From Mars has disappointed the last twice but is no back number and could bounce back at any time while Mr Christopher has already won twice here this year, though is probably high enough in the weights at present and closely matched with Shamlan on the form book. Top Offer usually struggles in this grade but Caledonia Duchess represents a yard in cracking form and may be capable of better.
