In depth

Verdict

No surprise if the Hannon and Moore combination land a quick double here. Despite developing a bad habit of finishing second last year, CHORAL has by far the best form and this is her easiest task to date. Kieren Fallon takes over the reins on Beautiful Lando who came up against the potentially useful Protractor at this track last time. He could prove the main danger as it's hard to make a serious case for any of the remaining trio though Spartan Spirit is likely to improve on last September's modest debut.
