        Verdict

        Choral Festival needs no introduction to the regulars at Windsor as John Bridger's mare has obliged on three occasions at the course. Her recent form has been somewhat patchy so EDGEWORTH could be worth a closer look. David Bridgwater's gelding failed to shine on the Polytrack at Lingfield but he has had a break since that experience, and had won well previously at Bath under positive tactics. He may find that If I Were A Boy will be challenging him for the lead. The five-year-old continues to drop down the weights and his rider's 5lb claim should come in handy. Royal Etiquette unseated rider at the stalls last month. A winner over 1m4f at the course; he wasn't too far away on a Newbury follow up. Jewelled's previous win here came over a mile whilst any money for Glass Mountain could be significant.
