Chjimes beat Mary's Pet here last month and the latter boosted the form when scoring over C&D on her latest start. The former can reverse more recent running with Frequency on better terms and looks to have every chance, while better is expected from Co Dependent back over this trip after a modest effort over 7f last week. But the vote goes to ONCEAPONATIME. He's found life tough in in handicap company since winning at this time last year and today's drop in class gives him the opportunity to finally get his head back in front.
