Shepherd’s Pride could give a boost to the form of Runarounddancing’s victory in February earlier on this evening’s card. Choir Director was fourth behind Beta Capo Song in a stronger claimer here last month and four lengths ahead of KING OF ANYTHING. However, that was over 4f and Jesse Compton’s seven-year-old is much more effective over this longer trip and will strip fitter today. Pierpoint has won his last two over shorter so can’t be ignored and Junkers also has a squeak back over arguably his best distance.
