With solid form being thin on the ground, a chance is taken that MR CHUCKLES can make the most of what looks a fair opportunity for him to shine. He needs to banish the memory of a poor effort last time out and will need to be on his A-game to fend off the likes of Prince Of Time and Pick Of Any, who look to be the most likely candidates to spoil the party. b>Whispering Soul may prove to be some each-way value. 1. Mr Chuckles 2. Prince of Time 3. Whispering Soul
