Verdict

Strong in numbers, but in reality a race which offers very little else. However, DREWMAIN LEGEND offers a reasonable solution, and should be open to further progress on just her third start in a handicap. She is closely matched with Llantera on their Chepstow clash in late November, but is preferred to the Tom Symonds trained mare who has disappointed over a longer trip since. Other horses with chances include, Chilli Romance, Flight to Nowhere and Kristal Heart, or if you feel inclined to take a real chance, Kalarika could be worth a glance with a plethora of newly installed aids.
