Verdict
The progressive COURT OF SESSION made light of a 6lb rise to score easily at Lingfield last week and the hat-trick beckons for the Crisfords’ charge. Blueberry Hill and Francesi arrive on the back of novice wins with the former scoring at Epsom last month while several others also make their handicap debuts including Southwell runner-up Khathak. The latter is preferred to the likes of Duelist, Taratari and Paradias while Atrium missed the break at Musselburgh on his reappearance and is not out of this either.
