Southwell winner Phoenix Aquilus has been rested since failing to complete at York in May while Aljaryaal’s recent effort at Chelmsford was too bad to be true. Eagle Court scored over a shorter trip at Wolverhampton recently and Breccia won a lower grade contest at the same track but COUNTRY PYLE (NAP) makes more appeal. The latter went close in a tougher race at Lingfield with Blame It On Sally back in fifth and can go one better in this. The unpredictable Good Soul looks best of the rest.
