Chetan’s last won on the all-weather in this contest in 2018 while Black Medick had Luna Wish back in fourth when scoring over track and trip under today’s apprentice a fortnight ago. But Sophie Jones takes 7lb off the back of CASARUAN today and that could be enough to see Mick Appleby’s charge back to winning ways having finished ahead of Three C's at Chelmsford last time. Little Downs is usually in the mix but remains without a win.
