Confrontational completed a double at Dundalk in January and was placed at Wolverhampton on only his second start for new connections. Both Logi and Firmdecisions won over today’s trip on Turf last year and the former has a recent run under his belt but CHOSEN WORLD is still improving and was scoring over course and distance for the third time when returning a clear winner here last month. Julie Camacho’s charge is fancied to defy a further rise in the weights and confirm earlier running with Mudawwan in the process. Outside Inside and Windsor Cross are worth a second glance on their return to action.
