Chelmsford City Race 7 - Shirley Rose Easter Special Handicap
EAGLES WHISTLE (4) remained unbeaten for the previous stable in three attempts. Offered more on the second start for Joey Ramsden two weeks ago when only 1.25L behind the winner at Wolverhampton. Rates highly. HE'S OUR CRACKER (5) shed his his maiden tag over course and distance while responding well to the application of cheekpieces. Holds every chance. SENSE OF REASON (6) disappointed hurdling. Warrants respect revisiting a venue he scored at in August over this distance. KARAKULA (1) struggled since winning in September. Still lightly raced and the stable did produce a winner earlier in the week. One to take seriously.
