Verdict
Maureen's Lough has been in winning form in similar grade of late and has the assistance of Frankie Dettori but this looks tougher than the claimer that she won at Thirsk last time and preference is for Pon My Soul, who gets the vote over Jay. The last mentioned found just Tipsy Lillie a short head too good in a Yarmouth seller last time and is entitled to be thereabouts again. Haroldini filled the same position in a nursery at Southwell and is another worthy of a mention, along with Fulke Johnson Houghton's Amphitheatre who has the assistance of Kieren Fallon. Chepstow winner Don't Tell Trigger and the consistent Lakesdale are others to consider but the vote goes to Pon My Soul. Mick Quinlan's gelding created a favourable impression when making a winning debut at Beverley last month and is taken to defy his penalty.
