      Verdict

      It could pay to stick with CHOSEN WORLD in his current form. He bids for a hat-trick of course and distance wins and can confirm latest running with several of these. Rey Loopy and Dirchill filled the places behind the selection last time with Harvest Day further behind while though Smugglers Creek won at the track in November he is facing a tougher task today. However, Fingal's Cave looks a big threat on recent form having been narrowly beaten here before going close again at Southwell.
