It was testing ground when HEART OF SOUL scored over track and trip last month. He’s been beaten on faster going back here subsequently but is still preferred to stable companions Gossip Column and Suegioo. Al Kout won at Kempton back in March and goes well in soft while Ascot Day went close again at Chepstow a week ago having won at the same track earlier. Tor is back on a winning mark though seems best over further nowadays and Super Kid is preferred having slipped down the handicap since winning on the all-weather last summer.
