Put a couple of disappointing efforts behind her when making the frame the last twice. Beaten 2L over 7f at Newmarket (good) a month ago and has won two of her three AW starts so far.

Running well in the main this season including when winning in first time blinkers (retained) over this trip at Kempton last month. Races off a 4lb higher mark and one for the shortlist with a leading jockey in the saddle today.

Made just five starts so far and ran well when finishing fourth over an extended 1m at Wolverhampton last time out. Hung right on that occasion and interesting to see how he fares dropping in trip.

Winning for the first time when successful over C&D back in May. Well beaten over this C&D two months later and needs to put that behind him if he's to take this.

Not beaten far despite finishing seventh of nine over this trip at Kempton and can be forgiven a poor run on turf at Epsom last time. Races off a mark 4lb higher than when winning at Kempton in March.

Forecasts

Big Tour (7/4), Summer Chorus (4/1), Peak Princess (5/1), Etikaal (7/1), Dark Side Dream (8/1), Boy In The Bar (12/1), Fantasy Keeper (16/1), Pearl Spectre (20/1), Sans Souci Bay (25/1), Saleh (33/1)

Verdict

The return to the AW can see top weight SUMMER CHORUS register her fifth career success in this. The selection ran well on turf last time out and can defy a 2lb rise here to see of Peak Princess who registered her first AW win at the first attempt in blinkers last time out. Of the remainder Silvestre De Sousa is a notable jockey booking for Dark Side Dream and he can claim third having been running well under an apprentice rider of late.
