PLAY SMARTER

MEDIA GUEST looked to have ended a long losing run at Chelmsford City last time only to lose the race in the stewards’ room and can gain compensation nudged up just 1lb here. Gone is enjoying an excellent season and rates the chief threat, with Roach Power and Cold Stare not ruled out either in a trappy-looking handicap
