Verdict

Pressure Putt, Soothsay and Squadron Leader are the three that command attention here and preference is for Pressure Putt. Soothsay has won two of her six starts and that includes a win here last time. She is progressing well and this daughter of Mujadil is consistent and game and she looks sure to give a good account.Richard Hannon's representative always commands respect in a race of this nature and Squadron Leader looks set to play a part here. He is yet to win but placed efforts at Ayr and Catterick suggest he will be thereabouts although he has yet to win. Willie Haggas saddles the top weight Pressure Putt and he looks the one to beat. He sprang a surprise at Newcastle on his second outing before running well in a big field at Doncaster, staying on well in the closing stages. That was a good performance and as that was only his third outing is open to further improvement. Pressure Putt gets the vote.
