DALARAM looks interesting in this line-up and is preferred to Kisha King and The Chip Chopman. The selection has been off the track since February and was struggling for form when last seen but that has at least meant that the handicapper has relinquished his grip and he's back down to the mark from which he was last successful. He has joined a shrewd yard and the jockey booking takes the eye. Kisha King is tried in a visor as connections attempt to eke out further improvement and he boasts stronger claims than many in this line-up. The Chip Chopman hasn't got an awful lot of form to his name but it's interesting that his stable have brought him over from Ireland and engaged a leading jockey. Hereditary and Tarateeno are others that enter the picture but Dalaram looks the most interesting of all.
