Nonrunner
L'Hirondelle has clear claims having run well in defeat on his last three runs off similar marks but this time the vote goes to STREET POWER. Jeremy Gask's runner saves his best for the all-weather surfaces so although he was only solid from this rating when last seen on Polytrack based on his win at Kempton in April he can win from this rating. Richard Hughes is an eye-catching booking on Sir Michael Stoute's Rule Of Nature, who seems fairly treated on the pick of his best while Seek The Fair Land likes it here and ran well from a similar weight over course and distance last time out. A tight race where Street Power is a tentative pick.
