1/2

Arrives here on a hat-trick after wins at Pontefract (5f, good to firm) and Chester (5f, good) on his last two outings, the latter by 4L. The fourth and fifth there have both won since, so the form has been bolstered and it will take a good one to peg him back today.

Form: 3-76511

Soie D'leau^p1¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: J Fanning| T: Kristin Stubbs| OR: 94| D

11/2

At his best over 5f and on good ground, but has won on good to firm and soft, so is adaptable. Has been tried both in tough handicaps and a Listed contest in four starts this time and come up short. Doesn't quite look to have the class of the others here.

Form: 71-4755

Thesme²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 8-9| J: T Eaves| T: N Tinkler| OR: 103| D

5/2

Without a win since 2015 and thrashed in both starts this season, but they were both in Group company. You don't have to go back far to see some very smart form, including when runner-up in Listed company on her final start last year and with conditions and trip no problem, she should be a serious player.

Form: 2252-00

Forecasts

Judicial (1/2), Thesme (5/2), Hoof It (3/1), Soie D'leau (11/2), Doc Sportello (14/1)

Thesme has her best chance of the season so far now dropped into this company. If she were on top form then she would probably be a natural selection at these weights, but there is an element of doubt about her this term and we will side with the in-form JUDICIAL, whose last run has worked out well. Hoof It should prove to be next best.
