Verdict

David Nicholls seems to have found the key to settling Choreography in his races and the top weight is fancied to deliver in this tight little handicap; Markestino is in good heart and, along with Bitter Chill are others to monitor in the betting. Bitter Chill has not stood much racing to date so has scope for improvement. He will take in a long journey to represent his yard, so a betting move may prove to be significant. Hughie Morrison's charge is dropping to a feasibly attractive mark and will not have to find much improvement to take a hand. Markestino comfortably held Mister Jingles when they met at Carlisle and can be confidently backed to uphold the form. The Tim Easterby-trained gelding is set race from only a 3lb higher mark and, although this is a bit tougher, he cannot be ruled out in his current frame of mind. However, Choreography looked far more like the finished article when scoring at Musselburgh last week and, with the stiff finish in his favour, the son of Medicean is fancied to brush aside his 6lb penalty in this company.
