Choristar gets the vote here with Bunkhouse and The Number put forward as the likely dangers. The selection was returning from a break of six months off the track when a good second behind Minimum Bid at Lingfield. He is sure to come on for that run and with the extra furlong here another positive it would be a surprise if he weren¿t good enough to get his head in front. Bunkhouse put up a fair effort last time when fourth behind Secret Vision at Wolverhampton. More is required here and as he is probably better over 6f we are happy to take him on. The Number is dropped in trip after a couple of recent disappointing efforts here. He has hinted at having ability and he is probably better over further than this so he is difficult to put forward with any confidence. Seattle Robber is a consistent sort and could be the best of the rest, but for the winner we return to Choristar.
