    Verdict

    A couple of these are chasing hat-tricks though collateral form leaves Kickingthelilly with much stronger claims than Homeward Strut. Rae Guest's filly scored by three lengths at Kempton last time and should be bang there at the finish again but BOOTS AND SPURS is just preferred. The latter also returned a clear winner when landing his maiden over C&D last time and, as the third-placed horse has subsequently won, the form looks rock-solid - Elaine Burke's charge can go in again here. Mr Knightley has done his winning in plating company and arrives out of sorts anyway.
