Metropolitan Chief has been in good form over 5f of late but SQUIRREL WOOD is preferred over this trip. The latter found only one too good over course and distance last week and can finally open her account in this. Spellmaker's only win to date came over 6f and he hasn't raced since August but Chester Deelyte regularly makes the frame at this level and finished ahead of Sakhee's Alround when runner-up here earlier in the month.
