Another tough handicap and a narrow vote is given to Chunky's Choice, the best alternatives could be Sopran Gath and View From The Top. Jeremy Noseda's colt had shown very little until his last outing when chasing home Let It Be at Redcar earlier this month. The winner went in again on Saturday so the form is rock solid and he can go one better today. Sopran Gath appears to be a better horse on the all-weather but is well weighted if transfering his recent form to the turf. View From The Top disappointed when stepped up to ten furlongs last time out and it is surprising that he is moved up in trip again. However there is plenty of stamina in the pedigree and he is from a very shrewd yard so keep a watch on the market. Recent winner Suzie May is another worthy of respect but Chunky's Choice looks to be on the upgrade and he gets the decision.
