Verdict
WOOLFALL SOVEREIGN is in the form of his life and worth sticking with until beaten. He was winning for the third time in his last four starts when beating Even Steven and Fratellino here last time and holds an earlier verdict over Piscean and Swiss Cross. The latter quartet had been taking it turns to beat each other before finding the selection too good and will all need to improve to turn the tables in this. Tarooq also arrives in fine form having completed a hat-trick at Wolverhampton a fortnight ago with Thunderball and Profile Star behind but he's upped in class today, as are Cut Across and Noverre To Go.
