Verdict

The veteran Russian Soul is back with Michael Halford after a spell in the UK and ran well behind Mr Ormsby a week ago. His huge weight is alleviated by his young rider's claim but stable companion Invincible Ryker didn't look at his best last time after beating Arbourfield in January. The latter is much better off at the weights as he is with Mr Ormsby, who beat him a length a week ago and is 7lb worse off. Delegating has yet to win a race in 15 starts but couldn't have gone much closer when last seen behind Three Majors in January and the winner has been in good form subsequently. Mokhalad had every chance last time and may be a few pounds high but FLAWLESSLY was having her first start over this trip when headed on the line by Nivvo last week and can go one better.
