Bergamasco was beaten six lengths into fourth here on Wednesday. VICTOR'S CHOICE has improved with every run and was only beaten narrowly in a similar race at Galway. If taking to the surface she'll take some beating from just 1lb higher. Thia was four lengths behind and looks held while Koniag looks as though he needs further. Masonbrook Meadow tackles the trip for the first time but isn't out of this while Wesley Joyce's claim puts Highland Bells in the picture.
