In depth
Verdict
Thechildren'strust took advantage of a tumbling mark to land an apprentices’ race at Salisbury last week and escapes a penalty. If in the same mood, Gary Moore’s four-year-old would likely take all the beating again but he is not one to trust implicitly. Pour La Victoire likes turning tracks but is penalised for a recent victory at Brighton. La Sioux has had a break and couldn’t cope with a 4lb rise at Doncaster in July but Canford's Joy proved his stamina in France last month. Placed in both previous visits here, KINGSTON KURRAJONG was back to his best at Windsor last time and may be capable of handling a 3lb rise. Savitar got off the mark on Polytrack 12 days ago but is 0-6 on Turf.
