Chelmsford City Race 2

Irish Ebf Restricted Novice Stakes (Gbb Race) (Div 1)

Prize Money: $18,450

CLOTH OF GOLD (5) can get off the mark after shaping as though the step up to 2000m would suit when denied a neck in a Southwell maiden last month. Stablemate MDAWI (1) may prove the main threat on the back of his third over 1600m at Lingfield nine days ago. RULING MASTER (2) also steps up to 2000m for the first time and would hold claims on the form of his fourth at Yarmouth earlier in the year. VILAINE VERLAINE (3) is next best but needs improvement.

Useful filly. Returns from a 40-day let-up. Last start second last in a small field at Newmarket (Rowley) on November 2 over 1800m, 12 len behind Modern Utopia with 56.5kg at $13. The start before that won by 1.0 len at this track October 10 over 2000m defeating Moonlit Stage carrying 60.5kg at $13. Not the worst in this, could find a place.
