Promising sort. 1 win from 2 runs this year. Won 9-runner maiden (5/2) at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm) 13 days ago, keeping on well. Obvious claims.

Forecasts

Choirmaster (2/13), Ward Castle (6/1), Clarity Spirit (10/1), Dandy's Diva (25/1)

CHOIRMASTER showed a good attitude to open his account at Beverley last time and the form has already received a boost from the third since, so he's likely to follow up under a penalty. Ward Castle is a notable newcomer and Dandy's Diva could make her presence felt with another improved showing.
