Verdict

After a couple of below-par performances, Lady Scatterley has come right back to form and should be thereabouts again. Ingleby Hollow is on his lowest mark in more than two years and has been showing signs of life over hurdles. Genesius has placed in four of his six career starts while St Just’s latest run at York was too bad to be true. Viceregent wasn't winning out of turn here at the start of the month and should have no problem with the extra furlong but TRIPLE NICKLE has shown herself to be suited by1m4f this year so it was encouraging that she ran well over a trip too short at Goodwood last time.
