Verdict
CHALKY created a good impression by the way she stayed on near the finish at Salisbury earlier this month and, as she already holds the regally-bred Awfaa on that evidence, Fegus Sweeney's mount heads the shortlist on this occasion. Holiday Girl sets the standard on the official ratings and will also be hard to master if she runs up to her mark now she is back on turf.
