One More Round was claimed out of Nick Littmoden's stable after landing a similar contest here over six furlongs last week and has every chance of following up for new trainer Ollie Pears over the extra furlong today but he has been doing all his racing over sprint trips of late and preference is for China Cherub, who gets the vote over Bustan. The last mentioned has struggled against the handicapper of late so it is of no surprise to see him dropped into a claimer this afternoon; a reproduction of his best form would see Giles Bravery's gelding go close. Onenightinlisbon has a nice racing weight and has to be respected along with White Bear, who is better than recent form would suggest. The vote though goes to Richard Hannon's China Cherub who has not been running that badly in handicaps of late. The daughter of Inchinor is probably a shade high in the weights at present though and dropped to this grade she has every chance of resuming winning ways.
