In depth
Verdict
Sounds Lucky will be all the rage here to complete the hat-trick after a couple of good wins. The yard continue in great form on the all weather and it may seem to defy logic to oppose him, but he does now carry a 6lb penalty and was not so comfortable in winning last time. Instead our vote goes to Teyaar. A thoroughly consistent sort at both this and the minimum trip, this course and distance winner has a 14lb pull for a one and a quarter length defeat here last year and he can take advantage here. Of the remainder, Miss George looks exposed but good enough to be in the shake up, New Options has claims based on his two recent runs here, while Stand By Me shows plenty of speed but may just run out of gas again close home.
