Verdict

Choral Clan finally opened his account when winning a classified event at Kempton last week but is penalised for his trouble. KINGSTON SASSAFRAS was placed in a claimer here a fortnight ago but this isn't any tougher and Phil McEntee's three-year-old gets the vote. None of the remainder make any appeal in a poor contest as Wolverhampton winner Honiton Lace is hard to predict and Dreaming Again is just as inconsistent.
