Having won this race last year, CHOOSETHENEWS had been shaping up well this season with a trio of runner-up finishes, before finding the longer trip in the Eider too much last time, so he is well worth another chance back down in distance. He is preferred to Cerendipity, who can confirm the placings with Special Rate from when the pair met here 3 weeks ago.
