The key questions
How will the race be run?
Lady Lauren is the only confirmed front-runner, so expect a steady gallop the leader can control, and is favourably drawn (high is best over this trip here) — a powerful setup if left alone up front.
Does the draw matter?
High draws are favoured over mid at Chepstow (impact value 1.21, beating 50% of rivals on average). Lady Lauren, the likely leader, is drawn in the favoured section — a positive.
Any unexposed improver?
Notable Charm is lightly-raced with a profile to progress — the type to respect on potential.
Anyone well-treated?
Notable Charm drops in class — often a positive trainer angle.
Who's the main danger?
Hello Garda is the chief threat to Notable Charm, with the form figures climbing — and on our figures there's barely a length between them.
