Wolf River is given one more chance to lose his maiden tag, Fleuret and O Fourlunda may provide most danger. David Simcock's charge has earned a rating of 78 with some solid performances this season, including a recent second behind Jimmy Styles at Windsor. This looks his easiest task to date and a big run in expected. Fleuret was only just touched off by Millisecond on the turf at Lingfield last time out. That winner is only rated 72 and so she does look to have a bit to find with the selection, but she is open top further improvement. O Fourlunda ran a very promising race on her Yarmouth debut and is another open to plenty of progression. Wolf River on the other hand is fully exposed, but the form is rock solid so he just gets the verdict.
