Formscan By Michael Graham - CHOPSTICKS could get his head in front for the first time. His last two runs saw him finish third over course and distance, and fourth over further, and a reproduction of those efforts would have him heavily involved. Dynamite Defense won on his penultimate start over 1m at this racecourse in September. He hasn't had many runs over this sort of trip, but does look one of the more likely contenders. Wonder Spirit has been out of form, but competes off a very lowly mark. Reserve Higher Kingdom was well punted on his first start for Ado McGuinness last week, but didn't feature. A better display isn't beyond the realms of possibility if getting a run. Second-reserve Lord Talbot also has a squeak.
