WEAPON OF CHOICE, nicely boxed in stall four, handled Epsom well last time so should cope with this turning track and has only gone up 7lb for two recent successes. He can score again today. Queen Of Cash enjoyed a fine summer before finding Class 2 company too hot to handle at the Ebor meeting. Down a level here, she'll be a threat if able to take a prominent position from an unhelpful draw. The consistent One Scoop Or Two gained his reward when winning snugly at Haydock. Well supported that day, he has solid claims here and makes more appeal than Venutius, who has issued mixed messages in four runs this term. Hacienda is likely to pop up sooner or later and Sonning Rose ran a lot better last time but has a bit to find in this grade.
