Picpoul gained her third course victory a week ago but the first over this shorter trip. She had plenty in hand so an 8lb rise is not excessive. The three-year-old Obama Army was very consistent for Jack Channon in the UK, scoring twice on Turf. HASTEN SLOWLY (NAP) overcame all kinds of trouble in-running to get up close home earlier this month and can defy a 4lb rise and complete a double as the versatile Darkened has never won here, though has performed well the last three times. Snag It disappointed here last month three weeks after scoring over track and trip.
