Verdict
Choral Work, a Flat winner, found her way to Ireland before moving to Olly Murphy, for whom she won on stable debut nearly a year ago, She hasn't scored since though and may find a couple too good. Rock Of Fame is somewhat inconsistent and Porter In The Park looks of greater interest, now moving into handicaps after showing ability in a couple of novice hurdles. She may have got in here off a decent initial mark and looks a leading contender. However, this doesn't rate the strongest of contests and GLOBAL FAMENGLORY is taken to make a winning return to the track after a 320-day absence as the best of her form, admittedly somewhat inconsistent, does read well at this level. Keep an eye on her unexposed stablemate too - She's So Lovely - also back after an even longer break.
