Choral Festival has been in good form over 1m4f but it's not certain this drop in trip will suit the five-year-old, who may also be back in the handicapper's grip now. Sweet Secret should be all the better for last month's run at Windsor but Woop Woop and Lady Barastar appear to be going backwards and Out Of The Storm has also had plenty of chances. CHATTERER stepped up markedly on her debut run 10 days earlier when landing a maiden at Lingfield last month. She almost certainly has more to offer and can follow up here at the chief expense of Full Bloom, who has shown promise on the Polytrack but makes her debut on turf following a break.

Chatterer (IRE) 20-1 (8-4) Slowly into stride, ran wide on 1st turn, soon close up in 4th, smooth headway on outside over 2f out, led over 1f out, pushed along and ran on inside final furlong, always doing enough, won at Lingfield 1m 2f mdn auc stks (6) pol in Jun beating Dare To Bare (9-2) by 1/2l, 8 ran.
