In depth

Verdict

Several are closely matched at the weights on these terms but CHORAL CLAN may just edge this. Brendan Powell’s charge has been thereabouts recently and finished well ahead of both Maraakib and Intermodal when runner-up at Chelmsford last time. Midnitemudcrabs journeys over from Ireland having won a claimer at Dundalk last month and can figure while Henpecked has a leading chance at the weights but arrives in poor form as does George Reme.
