        In depth

        Verdict

        This race lacks strength in depth and we reckon that Kilmorey might just get the better of Choir Leader. A half brother to Chorist's, Choir Leader is surely better than he showed on his debut and ought to go well at this level but do not be surprised, also, to see Kilmorey improve on his form also. He made late headway in his most recent run, at Kempton, and this is a much weaker event. Mount Cottage has something to like on breeding and he might just sneak a place but, for the winner, we will look to Kilmorey.
