Verdict
CORPUS CHORISTER has shown promise on all four career starts and produced a decent effort when filling the minor placing when stepped up to this distance for the first time at Newmarket latest. His yard are steadily ascending the training ladder, enjoy a good record at this venue and Shane Kelly can steer home the son of Soldier Of Fortune to a first career success. Patent needs to be noted on this handicap bow for Richard Hannon as he seems very fairly treated and Blacklister has claims if appreciating this step-up in trip as the best of his form brings him into calculations. Ravens Quest and Touch Of Color are also of interest in an open contest.
