Blistering Bob wasn’t beaten far in a novice stakes over track and trip four weeks ago but that form should probably be taken with a pinch of salt. Barnay has had plenty of chances so this may rest between the two at the top of the weights. CHORAL MUSIC owes connections nothing having already won four times this year. Hopefully, she will have been freshened up by a short break and can get the better of recent Chepstow scorer Makambe.
