Choral Clan is holding his form well and will likely figure again while Bookmaker scored over track and trip in February and is only 2lb higher. Eljaddaaf won over 6f here in March and Straits Of Malacca has a shout having slipped down the weights. The latter comment also applies to Cool Strutter and Ocean Legend but MISU PETE (NAP) is preferred. He landed a double at Wolverhampton in March and looked sure to take a hand in the finish at Chelmsford last time but was hemmed in all the way up the home straight. Mark Usher’s charge gets another chance in this.
