Verdict
None of these inspire much confidence but a speculative vote goes the way of THREE GRACEZ. She made up late ground to finish fifth at Nottingham last time and is just preferred to Bold Appeal. Richard Hughes takes over on the well beaten Chepstow fourth today while Rock Lobster finished ahead of Red Stripes when both finished down the field at Kempton recently. The newcomer Life Less Ordinary would not need to be anything special to figure.
