Verdict

LE ROUQUIN just failed to land a hat-trick when second at Kempton last time. He makes more appeal than Perceived, a winner in soft ground, and gets the nod. Yorkindred Spirit was still beaten a long way when third at Lingfield last month and Divine Law showed no improvement when well beaten at Nottingham on his reappearance. Wolverhampton winner Bold Appeal may fare better on his comeback while Hawkmeister was dropped 3lb after finishing fourth over a shorter trip here in August.
