CHUMLEE was most impressive when making a successful handicap debut here last March and, while his only start since was underwhelming, he could strip fitter for it and this isn't a strong race, so he gets the nod. Into The Sunset is a danger despite the long absence and Melvich Bay warrants consideration.
