There are a good number in with chances but the most obvious claims are held by recent winners BOHO CHIC, Mr Funshine and Sweet Applause with Boho Chic making most appeal. Almaty Express is too well handicapped to ignore but he hasn't sparkled recently whilst there are a number of capable performers in the line-up but there was plenty to like about Boho Chic's success at Kempton last month. She did get the run of the race that day but she's only a fraction higher in the weights and can find further improvement for the re-application of headgear. Mr Funshine is in rude health and has doubled his career tally in recent weeks but there has to be a chance that the handicapper may, now, be on the verge of catching up with him so he looks worth taking on. Sweet Applause was winning for the first time when successful at Lingfield so there has to be a doubt as to whether she can build on that but she has run well here and the victory may have worked wonders for her confidence so she's entertained but Boho Chic's preferred.
