      Verdict

      Little form to go on here, so do watch the market, but we'll tentatively suggest AVOIR CHOISI in preference to Elisiario (IRE) and Saints Bay. It's a step down in trip for Peter Chapple-Hyam's colt, who was a decent second here recently over a mile. The draw's not a great help though. Elisario is the top weight, and returns to seven furlongs after her best run came over a mile. Saints Bay could be anything, and Richard Hannon's runners do usually come on after their first run, but if supported could be worth following. A minimum stakes contest for us, with Avoir Choisi the selection.
