In a very tight looking contest CONNOR'S CHOICE looks like the percentage call. He's weighted to turn the tables on Emeratesdotcom based on their last meeting and with that run at Bath last time being his first spark of form he's shown for a while he might be ready to win again from a nice mark. So Surreal was an easy winner in plating company last time and his mark is now a lot more realistic than when last in a handicap so might run well while Fitz ran too bad to be true last time so if bo9uncing back has good each-way claims. A similar comment can apply to Just Timmy Marcus but in an open contest Connor's Choice is potentially well treated.
