        Verdict

        Chunky's Choice can gain another course-and-distance success at the expense of Chant de Guerre and Four Miracles, with Global Strategy worth noting. Jeremy Noseda seems to have his string in good form now, and although Chunky's Choice was well beaten on the Kempton Polytrack last time, his earlier victory here off a 6lb lower mark gives him a sound chance of getting back to winning ways. Chant de Guerre boasts a win and a second from two visits to the Sussex track and looks at the right end of the handicap, so is on the short-list, while Four Miracles was successful on her only previous visit here in July, but that was on slightly softer ground. Global Strategy has been off the track since June, but this prolific all-weather winner is one to keep an eye on. The market may be informative, but we shall pin our hopes on Chunky's Choice.
