Martin Todhunter won this last year with a mare (Pretty Miss Mahler) and he looks to have another decent chance of landing the prize again with Chocolat Noir who is out of the handicap and up in grade but doesn’t look too badly handicapped on her Flat form. There are a few questionable types in this and Dreamsoftheatre is no banker to follow-up his C&D win here last time; he’ll need an equally good ride to go close again. Neither Court King or Bon Chic can be trusted and ALFIE’S CHOICE can build on his win over shorter here last time with his yard back in form and his mark still underestimating him. Loud And Clear should appreciate this test and looks a danger with a positive ride.
