CHARLOTTE STREET is fancied to see off Geography, Blazing Tommy and Plenty Of Char in what looks a tricky handicap for punters to work out. The selection comes here on the back of a good second to Ban Uisce here last month. Peter Toole looks a good jockey booking and proven on soft ground he should run well. Glebehall Bay has more of a chance now contesting this easier race, Not For Diamonds is a bit hit and miss but has the ability to win one of these handicaps, while Plenty Of Chat tries the tongue-tie for the first time this afternoon. Aztec Treasure shaped with more promise on his handicap debut last time out behind Vivarini and AP McCoy now takes over in the saddle, while Richard Johnson take over on Colonial Jim. Geography is an interesting contender. He was well-held when seen last May at Fontwell but his earlier form behind Cross Kennon reads OK and this course winner teams up with Tom Scudamore this afternoon. Keep Holdin and the returning Marino Gale are considered, but he most tentative of votes goes to Charlotte Street.
