It's difficult to make a strong case for any of these but WATCH CHAIN went close at Yarmouth during the week and gets a tentative vote back over the minimum trip. The Tatling finished second at Bath last Tuesday but never looked like catching the winner, while Pinball just got her nose in front on soft ground at Chepstow last time and is 4lb higher. Media Jury couldn't follow up his Beverley win back at the same track on his latest start but My Love Fajer showed a bit more at Doncaster last time, though he's still without a win.
