Choir Master will appreciate this step up in trip and must go close, especially from his number one draw. Dedham Vale, who was only 5th on his debut at Newmarket, has had that form franked by the front three since, and whatever beats him will win. Last years successful stable relies on Eventually, who showed promise at York, but he may just have a bit too much on his plate here. Western Fling, a full brother to useful sprinter Silla, is one to keep an eye on, but drawn on the outside, does not make it easy for him.
