Verdict
CHORAL BEE finally got off the mark at Kempton last week. This looks no tougher and she's taken to defy a penalty. Norfolk Sky has held her form well since winning at Yarmouth though she's gone up another 5lb after her latest narrow margin defeat at Kempton while Stag Hill stayed the longer trip well enough when beaten only a length over 1m3f on his latest start. Rano Pano will need to step up on his recent fourth over C&D but still looks best of the remainder.
