Verdict
LE TORRENT landed a double at Bath when scoring over today's trip last month and the third has subsequently won. The hat-trick beckons for Simon Dow's charge and he is preferred to recent Wolverhampton runner-up Beausant. Bracken Brae went close over course and distance a fortnight ago and Savvy posted her best effort so far when placed at Lingfield on her latest start. Fast Pick may be capable of better but Idle Talker never threatened off today's mark over track and trip last time.
