Verdict
A tight nursery, but CHUMBAA appeals off the bottom rung despite this being her fifteenth start of a truly busy juvenile campaign. She wasn't at her best last time but it's hard to believe that connections would come here unless all is well with the daughter of Belardo. She's gone well on both starts here and Jonny Peate's claim aids her cause. Union Island could prove to be well treated on this handicap bow and is by far the least exposed of the septet. A case can be made for the remaining five contenders, of which the ultra-consistent Sankari - a course and distance winner - makes most appeal, whilst Midnight Lir's reliability should also see him in the shake-up. Ganesha has disappointed the last twice, whilst the Burke yard field Instant Recall and Princess Alex with neither ruled out.
