CHOOKIE DUNEDIN scored with something up his sleeve at Southwell recently and remains well handicapped on old form, so he's a confident choice to follow up at a track where he goes well. Thapa Vc found improvement when runner-up at Chelmsford last time and that's backed up by a good time, so he's regarded as a danger, while market support for Soyounique would look significant.
