Verdict
May Sonic has won both previous outings over course and distance and has to come into the reckoning back on this surface but CHOCOYA won in this grade at Salisbury a fortnight ago and, having missed out by only a neck in Listed company when last over track and trip, Hugo Palmer’s filly makes most appeal. Top Breeze and Huraiz have something to prove at this level while Inveigle drops down in distance and Soul Seeker’s earlier double came over 5f.
