Verdict
Caius Chorister was partnered by a 5lb claimer when scoring at Salisbury and has also been raised 5lb for that success. She’s still preferred to King Of The Kippax, who failed to build on an earlier second at Windsor when well beaten at the same track. ASTROBRIO put a poor reappearance effort behind her when second in novice company at Lingfield and with this extra distance expected to suit, she gets a tentative vote to open her account. Just An Inkling looks no nearer winning.
