POUR LA VICTOIRE scored over track and trip last month and has gone close in both subsequent starts. Tony Carroll's charge has the beating of Thomasina and gets the vote to land this. Lambert Pen has slipped down the weights and will be winning soon judged on his latest placed effort at Salisbury while Sonnetation can be given a chance though she's 7lb higher than when scoring at Bath in July. The remainder are harder to fancy unless Haatefina rediscovers her best.
