Verdict
Significant support for Chifah would be of interest with Dale Swift an interesting booking and the yard amongst the winners but a safer conveyance may prove to be CHOC'A'MOCA despite that one failing to land a touch on his penultimate start at Ayr. He didn't run badly that day or again at Yarmouth last time and he may not have to wait too much longer for a second career success. He will be short enough again and Stargazing can pose problems if breaking on terms but is also likely to represent little in the way of value. Boga could be one for the brave as she's of interest on the pick of her form and ran well on her only start with soft in the going description although she does have plenty to prove and her record with Richard Kignscote in the plate is dire. Sharp Shoes and Monsieur Harvey look unlikely to be far away with Cocktail Party also considered.
