Verdict
CHOIR made a winning debut over the C&D on fast ground in May and didn't disgrace himself in the Group 2 Railway Stakes on his only subsequent start. He could prove a class above handicaps and can get back to winning ways. Janey Muddles has a similar profile having been beaten in a Group 2 at Newmarket after her debut success at the Curragh. She's another who could prove better than this while Indigo River won't be inconvenienced stepping down in trip as she showed very good pace to score over 7f at Roscommon. Lady Rochford hasn't gone on as expected after beating Lady Wingshot here while Khaos missed the break at Dundalk after beating today's rival Multitasking there earlier.
