        Verdict

        Chocolate Boy is taken to reverse recent running with Wanna Shout, while Montosari and Mythical Charm should not be ruled out of calculations. Chocolate Boy is still a maiden but came so close to losing that tag over a mile here last week when touched off by Wanna Shout. The latter managed to get first run on his rival and had a trouble-free passage, but was being pushed to the limit close home. Over this longer trip and with a five-pound turnaround for half a length, Chocolate Boy is fancied to turn the tables, especially as the first-time blinkers and eyeshield seemed to galvanise him last time. This trip may stretch Wanna Shout's stamina in any case, so we have no hesitation in opposing him. Montosari in contrast drops back in distance after finally opening his account over a mile and five furlongs here three weeks ago. He had been in action over hurdles and may struggle for pace, while Mythical Charm, a beaten favourite when down the field behind Wanna Shout in the race mentioned earlier, again has it to do. Apart from Wilom who has bits and pieces of form, the rest make little appeal, and at the weights, Chocolate Boy looks the answer.
