Piccolete is clearly one of the lesser lights in Richard Hannon's yard but Choose The Moment has shown signs of ability and fellow three-year-old Zaheeb won a similar contest over C&D last month before running poorly over further here next time. Zafeen's Pearl and Jonnie Skull both have the past form to figure in this grade, but we'll give another chance to AVEC MOI. Christine Dunnett does well at her local track and, though still a maiden, her Reset filly has shown more than enough to suggest she can win a race like this with regular pilot Danny Harris again taking off 7lb.
