CHOIRMASTER was carrying overweight when running his best race so far over hurdles at Huntingdon. He is getting plenty of weight from his two rivals here and could make the most of his Flat speed in what may end up being a tactical affair. Allihies shaped as though needing further here last week but Tristan Durrell takes off a handy 5lb. The going may be too fast for the hat-trick seeking Double Click.
Double Click (IRE) 13-2 (11-12) Prominent in chasing group throughout, still a lot to do when pushed along to make headway before 2 out, closed on leader approaching final flight, responded well to riding to lead inside final 50 yards, kept on wel final strides, game, won at Ffos Las 2m hcp (5) sft in May beating Good Friday Fairy (12-0) by 1 1/2l, 10 ran.
