Choose Your Moment is fancied to get his head back in front now dropped in grade and he gets the nod ahead of La Chicaluna and Bahama Baileys. The selection overcame a tardy start on his debut to score but then displayed the same trait at Ripon when beaten into third. There was still plenty of promise on that occasion and with Jamie Spencer taking the eye as a jockey booking, a big run looks on the cards. La Chicaluna could be the main danger as he ran a funny race last time out when tried over this trip but having stumbled at the start and then been short for room, better can be expected today. Blinkers were tried on Bahama Baileys last time out on the Knavesmire, however they are now dispensed with as he steps up a furlong in trip. Prince Desire on the other hand drops in trip having been tried over a mile when last seen. He encounters quicker ground once again today but he is yet to show a level of form that makes him an obvious contender; however a Barry Hills runner at York must warrant respect as they do tend to improve with their racing. At a price Woodford Regen could go well now stepped up in trip, however Choose Your Moment is fancied to get back in front.
