      In depth

      Verdict

      Placed the last twice, Choral Clan remains 6lb higher than his earlier win at Kempton while Anjuna Beach has also risen in the weights after a string of placed efforts. PRECAST is less exposed with a recent run under her belt after a lengthy absence. Much better is expected from David Simcock's filly today and she gets a speculative vote to come out best. Ellaal was without a win last year but slid down the handicap as a consequence and is another who should have benefited for a recent outing.
