In depth
Verdict
Pour La Victoire isn’t getting any younger but he is a course specialist. Kendergarten Kop makes a quick reappearance after finishing sixth at Leicester on Saturday. BOMBASTIC was having a first run on Turf in 18 months when second here 10 days ago. He is thrown in on past form on a mark of 59 so gets the nod ahead of the frustrating Global Style and Porterinthejungle. Sonnetina and Zulu Girl are both returning from a break.
