In depth

Verdict

Court of Appeal has an obvious chance to complete a hat-trick and Brian Ellison's gelding is taken to do so at the main expense of French Mannequin and King Flyer. The last mentioned has a nice racing weight for his return to turf but has an absence to overcome and may be best watched at present. Loop The Loup resumed winning ways over two miles in a similar contest at Chepstow last time but has more to do at the weights today over a trip that is short of his best. Stablemate Spitting Image has plenty to do at the weights and of more interest may be Lucky Judge, who has claims on the pick of his form but has not been running up to his best of late. Ipledgeallegiance is difficult to fancy and a bigger threat is likely to come from French Mannequin, who comes here on the back of a win in a Musselburgh handicap last time and receives plenty of weight. However, Court Of Appeal has an obvious chance at the weights and over a trip that suits he gets the vote.
