Verdict

ORCHARD ROAD was beaten in a seller at Southwell on his latest start but this is no better and a big run is anticipated. King's Chorister is hard to predict nowadays but won this last year when only 2lb lower. Kenneth Slack's team is going well and Columbanus should figure with a clear round while this is less competitive the than the races in which Rock Relief has been plying his trade. Aza Run is a bit better than his form figures would suggest and looks best of the rest.
