A competitive contest for the money and CHOREOGRAPHY remains on a winning mark and can follow-up his recent 7f win at the track, while Napoletano can emerge the main danger. The latter loves it here, with a couple of course wins and some good efforts in defeat to his name. He did win here off today's mark in the summer of 2008, but there have been a string of defeats largely from higher marks since then and he is still going to have to perform to his best if he is to score today. Therefore we prefer Choreography, who took a handicap when blinkered for the first time earlier in the month. Jim Best's inmate has four course wins to his name, including one over today's trip, and he has won off both this mark and higher in the past, so now he is in form we will follow him with the headgear retained. Hobson has some solid form over shorter but has yet to prove he truly gets a mile and so can be opposed, while Magroom will have no stamina doubts, but after a 3lb rise for winning at Chepstow he needs a career best to go in again. Ailsa Craig is not dismissed lightly now back on faster ground and she could be bang there under Richard Hughes, while the quicker going should also suit Cavendish Road better than at Ffos Las and money for him would be interesting. Choreography can lead them all a merry dance.
