Verdict

Scofflaw bids for a hat-trick but would prefer a faster surface while course regular Heart Of Soul scored over a longer trip here back in May but finished behind Redgrave and Dark Devil back at this venue last time. Bell Heather was placed at the track in June and can race off the same mark but CONFRONTATIONAL wasn’t beaten far in soft ground when fourth over course and distance in the same month with Nightingale Valley behind. On a 3lb lower mark today, Jennie Candlish’s charge gets the vote.
