Sands Chorus has staged something of a revival this year, winning twice at Redcar. A 7lb rise is a concern but he may still have the beating of Mac Ailey. Clay Regazzoni was third at Hamilton two weeks ago when starting favourite but a career record of 1-31 is off-putting. The yard also run TEFNUT, who disappointed on her final start as a three-year-old in December but may have been let in lightly making a belated debut on Turf. Reely Bonnie has been struggling over shorter trips but first-time headgear could aid her cause.
