Verdict
SOULARD, a four times winner over fences, was second over hurdles to the in-form Mauritino over 2m3f here 12 days ago. He is probably better over this longer trip and must be fancied to beat stablemate Businessmoney Judi, who also has her stamina to prove, in receipt of 11lb. Jacarado won over 3m1f at Towcester in April but Robin Dickin's veteran has a mountain to climb at the weights and hasn't raced since while Knight Blaze is well out of her depth on past form.
