Saleh’s recent improved efforts, including a victory at Lingfield, came over 7f while Choral Clan looks to be treading water off his current mark and was placed over 1m2f here last time. ALMANACK makes more appeal given he was beaten only a nose over today’s trip at Chelmsford recently and the third-placed horse has since boosted the form by winning. Gracious George is back on a winning mark while Rightway beat Choral Clan at Sandown during the summer but was tailed off on his reappearance.
