Caldermud took advantage of a slipping mark when scoring comfortably at Salisbury and his penalty is almost negated by his young rider's claim. Faith And Hope has shown the occasional glimpse of form and Mr Chocolate Drop is just 3lb higher than when last successful in April. Croeso Mawr ran very well over the C&D on her penultimate start and this lightly-raced mare is going the right way but HARTING HILL looks the one to be on as Marcus Tregoning's charge was returning from a long lay-off when runner-up to Fitz at Ffos Las and George Baker has been on board for two of his three career victories.
