Verdict

Not My Choice is a course winner and returned to form with a second at Lingfield last time. He had Basle behind on that occasion and has leading claims in this. However, COMMUNITY has also slipped down the weights since landing her maiden over a mile at this track and remains on a winning mark despite a 3lb rise for her recent victory at Brighton. Jamie Osborne's filly gets the vote with Chez Vrony perhaps best of the rest after his latest third over track and trip.
