CHOOKIE DUNEDIN finally won a handicap when successful over the minimum trip here a week ago. He ran well in a higher grade sprint over today's trip before that and can defy a penalty. Wotadoll has been winning in lesser company and has been raised a further 5lb while Walk On Walter is also upped in class bidding for a hat-trick on the back of a double at Wolverhampton. Busby remains in good form and can figure while King Robert is not badly treated on his best form but Choice Encounter's recent placed efforts came over 5f.
