Emmet Mullins holds a strong hand here. CHANCE ANOTHER ONE had lots to spare on his recent first outing for the yard and could easily still be ahead of his mark despite a 20 lb hike. Stablemate Arctic Gale ran a cracker here on Wednesday and should go well if in similar form. Howdoyalikeherhome, Nytol and Duke Silver are also shortlisted in this ultra-competitive race.
