Maraagel is preferred to Wizby and Mr Chocolate Drop with Tang not discounted. The selection takes a marked step up in trip this evening but he was finishing very strongly when a well backed half length second over 5 furlongs here last time and losses may just be lent. He appeared to be a non-stayer on his previous attempt at this trip but is older and stronger now and should last home. Wizby has finished close up in similar contests at this venue the last twice and she should have her say in the outcome along with Mr Chocolate Drop who was knocking on the door throughout last month and could find a little improvement for Adam Kirby taking over in the saddle. Tang races beyond 6 furlongs for the first time tonight and could get involved if she stays; there are mixed messages on that score and the claims of Maraagel are stronger.
