Verdict

Chevallier has been absent since June but seeks a fifth course victory. Goring and My Target also have a good record over track and trip but the interesting one in this is ORIGINAL CHOICE. William Haggas’ four-year-old has only raced on the all-weather once before and came home in front. He’s only a pound higher than when placed in strong handicaps at Goodwood in the summer and has more scope than most of these. First Selection was just beaten here in the spring but still hasn’t won over a mile. Hakam has done nearly all of his racing over shorter trips along with Salateen, though the latter was staying on over 7f here at the start of the month.
