Verdict
Choral Festival loves it here but isn't getting any younger. Ajig has been largely out of sorts but Dutch S only weakened inside the final furlong at Bath and makes more appeal than Dalmarella Dancer, who was beaten in sellers and claimers at Leicester in her last two starts. TILSTARR (NAP) didn't get much of a run at Goodwood after winning at Brighton. She looks to be on an upward curve and can gain compensation here.
