Chelwood Gate has had plenty of chances off today's mark of late but keeps coming up short and it was the same story here a fortnight ago when only third. BE ROYALE is preferred on her latest fourth over track and trip as that came in a Class 3 contest and she has an easier task in this. Light From Mars dead-heated for first place here at the start of the year and also drops back down a grade along with Athletic, who continues to slide down the weights and could bounce back at any time.
