None of these make much appeal and only a speculative vote goes the way of CHOCOLATE BLOCK. The 1m4f trip may have been an excuse for his recent poor effort at Lingfield having won over today's distance at the same track before that and he's given another chance in this. Chloe's Image can claim soft ground at Nottingham spoiled her chances last time as she'd finished second at Hamilton earlier but Isle Of Beauty has to be forgiven a poor attempt over 1m2f back in May if she's to be considered. Perfect Pose is unexposed and makes more appeal than the inconsistent Dalaway.
