KING'S CHORISTER is a few pounds out of the handicap but he's consistent enough to be given the vote in this moderate affair, especially with his useful young rider's allowance. Beverly Hill Billy has let supporters down on a couple of occasions and is probably still a few pounds high in the weights while Canal Cottage may do better when sent over further. Whaston started favourite for a similar event here in January but was soon done with and Irish challenger Imperial Breeze has been beaten a long way on most starts to date, a remark that also applies to Secret Desert.
