SOVEREIGN STREET bids for a hat-trick of soft ground victories and looks to have every chance. She's up another 5lb but had only to be pushed out to win at Ayr last time and there should be more to come from Ann Duffield's filly. Nasharra won easily at Carlisle the last time he encountered testing conditions and is not out of this while recent Windsor winner Bunce is another to consider. Defence Council's poor strike rate goes against him, however, and Jack Luey just can't get his head in front off his current mark though not for want of trying.
