CHJIMES could be hard to keep out of the frame in his current form and the track specialist is preferred to Crazy Parachute and Romantic Queen. The selection has won seven of his eighteen starts at this track with three of those wins coming over this distance whilst he found only one too strong on his only run under Hayley Turner. It's a tight affair at the weights but Chjimes comes here in form and has live claims of going in again. Crazy Parachute is a potential fly in the ointment as he's difficult to assess after just two career starts but anything that Gary Moore runs at the track in this grade has to be accorded respect. He was green in a fair maiden on debut before finding plenty of trouble at Folkestone and it would be no surprise were he to prove good enough to land this now that he's some experience under his belt. Romantic Queen is regularly there or thereabouts and a high draw shouldn't overduly inconvenience here given that she's usually held-up but she's only ever won at Wolverhampton which is why we prefer the claims of Chjimes.
