CHOOSEDAY was only beaten a head in the Great St Wilfrid consolation sprint at Ripon last time. He beat Compton Park easily enough and will go close with a similar effort. Liberty Jack has every chance on last week's second in better company at Ffos Las while Adam's Ale also has strong claims after finishing runner-up over 5f at Ripon. Bajan Bear remains in fine form but is upped in class for this. A case can also be made for the likes of My Name Is Rio, Mississippi, Tumblewind and Mehdi on their best form.
