      Verdict

      POUR LA VICTOIRE won this in 2016 and notched-up four wins at the track last year including a defeat of Lightning Charlie. Tony Carroll’s charge looks back on a winning mark. Key Player attempts today’s trip for the first time having scored over 7f here on his first start after wind surgery while Diamond Lady won over track and trip in April but struggled off a higher mark last time. Emily Goldfinch is upped 4lb after scoring at Newmarket but Leo Minor slides further down the weights and is preferred to Jack Taylor.
