Chouromanesco ran with promise on his Fontwell debut and Mark Bradstock's gelding has to be respected on that evidence but marginal preference is for Easy Dancer, who is taken to give Nigel Twiston-Davies another bumper winner and he gets the vote ahead of Campine Rose. The last mentioned showed ability on her debut here in April and has claims on that evidence, particularly if coming on for the run. Behrusi ran better here last time having been well beaten on his debut and has to be considered along with Uttoxeter third Imstilldreaming. Preference though is for Easy Dancer, who has shown ability in point-to-points and he is taken to make a winning start to his rules career.
