    Verdict

    Helfire was runner-up at Kempton on Wednesday but is upped in class. French scored over 6f at Thirsk last month but came up just short at Nottingham last week. Simply Me looks in the handicapper's grip now having notched-up a hat-trick earlier this year so the vote goes to STOSUR. The latter won twice on the all-weather off similar marks last year and has decent claims back on this surface after a couple of outings on Turf.
