Best Odds
Could not manage better than seventh over 7f here (maiden plate) four weeks ago; has kicked on in his last couple of races and he can be competitive at this level; few of his rivals come into this off the back of good runs so can figure.

Not far behind Beach Walker when fourth over 6½f here (maiden plate) two months ago; there is limited recent form on offer in this race so is of interest.

Was tailed off here over 7f (maiden juvenile plate) four months ago; yet to manage better than sixth in his three races; unlikely to achieve more than just a supporting role.

Verdict
Hattori Hanzo rates a serious threat, and Beach Walker and All Time Legend should have supporters. However, firm preference is for CHANCELLOR. He can take a significant step forward from his debut and can confirm superiority with Golden Slipstream and God's Country who were behind him when last seen.
