      Verdict

      Heart Of Soul is on a roll but may be too high in the weights now after last month’s second course victory. Gabrials Boy runs in the same colours but steps up a grade after finishing third at Newcastle in June. Natural History may need this and Speed Company also lacks a recent run while Dark Lochnagar is proving frustrating to follow. INFRASTRUCTURE was taken off his feet over 1m2f at Chelmsford on his reappearance. He’ll strip fitter here and is only 3lb higher than when successful over track and trip last summer so can outstay these.
