CHOICE OF WORDS left previous chasing form behind when runner-up in a novice here last time and another step forward could see her make a successful switch to handicaps. Vina Ardanza also has potential, so he looks a big danger, and Too Bright is likely to be on the premises having made all over C&D last time.
