Laurollie is given the vote ahead of Three Boars and Atlantic Gamble. Laurollie was sent off at a derisory price given some of her better form and the bookmakers are unlikely to be quite so benevolent this week. Three Boars finally got his head infront at Kempton after many attempts to do so. Silverstre De Sousa gave a great ride on the day and the time figure was not at all bad under the circumstances. Atlantic Gamble stayed further than this in Ireland and was not disgraced in a similar affair. Karl Burke's runners at this level are always respected and he will be priced accordingly. Toni Alcala may find this trip sharp enough. He has had plenty of chances under many different riders and a wealth of different tactics and nobody seems able to unlock his latent talent. Shaheer is upped in trip after placed efforts over 1m4f on turf. Captivate wouldn't be an obvious candidate but Alan McCabe's team are in good form and she has the benefit of the rider taking off a valuable 5lbs. A poor affair in which Laurollie rates as the percentage call.
