REGULATOR finally ended a losing run that stretched back to 2017 when scoring easily at Chepstow last week. A penalty is unlikely to anchor him in this and Alex Dunn’s charge can come out best once again. Mostallim won over 7f here before struggling at Chepstow while Finvarra was beaten over 5f at the latter track having earlier placed over track and trip. The Warrior is best on the all-weather but the veteran Pour La Victoire has been successful 10 times here over the years, though hasn’t looked like winning recently.
