        never better than mid-division

        In depth

        Verdict

        Mr Chocolate Drop gets the vote to complete the hat-trick over the likes of Lucius Verrus and Union Jack Jackson. The selection dead-heated with Fun In The Sun at Kempton last time but he was flying at the finish and there may be more in the tank. He does have more on his plate this afternoon but he nonetheless stands out here as the most likely winner. Lucius Verrus is a model of consistency and he arrives here in good heart, but the grim relaity is that he doesn't wwin very often and he may have to settle for a place at best. Union Jack Jackson is better than he has been showing of late, but he is hard to recommend on his current form and he may need some respite from the handicapper before he is able to get competitive. Government won this race last year but he ran too badly to be true last time. All of which returns us to Mr Chocolate Drop.
