Choice Words finished third on his debut over 6f here recently when a Charlie Hills-trained horse was runner-up. The latter runs GLEN MOSS today, who managed to find one too good in all four starts last season including last Saturday's subsequent Lingfield winner Gusto. However, he gets another chance here as he's rated 5lb higher than Impel, who had Jay Bee Blue behind when third at Goodwood in October. Bartolomeu is worth noting on his return and any support for Trade Commissioner on his belated debut could prove significant.
