The second division of this is more interesting than the first with a couple of horses at least that are capable of winning this. Choral Clan has now slipped back below his last winning mark and it’s doubtful if he will meet anything as good as he did last time out here although CIRCULATION might just be one to derail his effort. She shaped really well at Doncaster on her handicap bow and helpfully dropped 1lb by the handicapper she takes the eye in this. Blue Et Noir has the look of one who is being teed-up for a punt in a race such as this and the market should provide a useful clue as to his chance. Famous Dynasty doesn’t have an overly convincing record but he’s shaped well on his last few starts (better than his final position) and he’s another for whom the market may well provide some clues as to his well being.
