Choral Clan has yet to win on Turf but was only beaten a head over course and distance in an apprentices' race last month. FIDELMA MOON has been getting closer again lately and has already won twice under Jordan Vaughan. Karl Burke's charge is preferred over this trip to the hard-pulling Chepstow scorer Boycie. Cooperess was favourite for a similar race here last time but only finished third, though is still preferred to Unison and Chelmsford second Saint Pois.
