Verdict

Thapa VC has done all his winning at Wolverhampton so far having forced a a dead-heat last time. He makes more appeal than Light Lily, who won at Southwell last month, while Run Forrest Run has a recent outing under his belt and may have the edge over the returning Port Noir. But SOYOUNIQUE hasn’t raced over today’s trip since scoring at Lingfield last month and having gone close over 6f last time, Stuart Williams’ charge gets another chance.
