Verdict
MARIA'S CHOICE made a winning reappearance at Plumpton and gets the nod despite stepping up a grade today. Theatrical Style is not getting any closer and attempts a shorter trip having been beaten a distance when third over 2m4f here recently. Course and distance winner Jaunty Inflight has a shout on his earlier defeat of Hollywood All Star at Ffos Las while it was testing going when Helamis won at Chepstow last month though he failed to cope with a 9lb rise last time.
