Chicken Momo is preferred to Pressed For Time and Samba Queen. Samba Queen is rated inferior to Silent Treatment but John Spearing has a decent record with his juveniles in this grade and won the race last year; the drop in grade, softer ground and the presence of Fenton in the saddle could bring about the required improvement. Silent Treatment is vulnerable under her penalty and we prefer the claims of Chicken Momo who should be coming to the boil now that he's got two runs under his belt. He ran a fair race in a Musselburgh claimer last time and wouldn't need to improve a great deal on that to be a factor. Bid To Dance needs a cursory market check but Pressed For Time has her claims in the book following a satisfactory start for her new stable in a Warwick maiden. A low key affair but Chicken Momo may prove to be a tasty dish.
