    Verdict

    Jus Pires bids to carry on where he left off last season. He’s been gelded since his course and distance victory in October but is only a pound higher. Lady Of The Court hasn’t been disgraced in two runs for Heather Main but may have to wait a bit longer for a first win. TEAM DECISION is no certainty to see out this longer trip but the Godolphin colt has improved with each run, culminating in a victory last time at Nottingham over an extended mile. He was always holding an odds-on favourite that day so we’ll take a chance on his stamina. Never Surrender has been highly tried this year and will handle conditions but is usually worth opposing.
