    Verdict

    A win for Fifth Commandment earlier on the card would boost the chances of FIGHT THE CHANCE, as the pair met last time out, but even without it Mick Channon's runner looks the best choice. Marginally best in at the weights the pick was progressive in maidens before a solid run in a similar race to this when only just held by a subsequent winner and the same again should be enough. Jamesway is rated the same as the selection but has to give weight away, although his third behind Zebedee earlier in the year looks string form. Major Muscari has also shown improving form in maidens but looks in need of further improvement so Fight The Chance looks the likely winner.
