River Chorus finally opened her account when successful over 7f at Wolverhampton with Dark Kris behind. But RECUERDAME (NAP) is preferred having been beaten less than a length at Kempton last time having earlier finished in front of Hammock when placed over track and trip and Simon Dow’s charge gets the vote. Breguet Boy posted a better effort here last month though over a longer trip.
