Endless possibilities in a wide-open sprint. Nothing makes standout appeal but Ventura Express only went down by half a length to Dream Composer at Pontefract on second start this season and the winner gave the form a neat boost by going in again at Goodwood this month. Paul Midgley is a dab hand with his sprinters and the five-year-old is a player. Ghathanfar is not too easy to catch right but has a claim at his best and the likes of Recall The Show and Ginger Jam are also running well enough to come into contention. However, Sam England's MARK'S CHOICE is steadily running into form and does make appeal on the best of last season's efforts.
