Travelcard hasn’t raced since fourth at Wolverhampton in February and The Chemist failed to show any progress at the same track last time though still finished in front of Rinari. Roger Varian’s filly shares ownership with the more-progressive RED STARLIGHT, a novice winner at Newmarket before landing a handicap at Chelmsford last week. The Hannon filly looks worth sticking with in this given Ifubelieveindreams remains 6lb higher than when scoring at Newcastle back in February and Black Bess is hard to predict.
