FormscanBy Eamonn Murphy - Two and a quarter miles in testing conditions is a tough ask for four-year-olds, and five-year-old CHOSEN WITNESS, with a point-to-point win under his belt, is preferred to younger rivals such as Fermoyle and Soldante. Chosen Witness actually had to share the spoils at Ballinaboola when dead-heating back in February, but by all accounts there was plenty to like about his performance when himself and rival Captain Checkdown couldn’t be separated. Captain Checkdown was subsequently sold for 180,000 pounds, and Chosen Witness likely cost a pretty penny himself, as he shares a similar starting point to many decent horses in the past. Movements in the betting will hopefully provide a solid guide with regard to the many newcomers.
