Verdict

Khangai has placed a couple of times on Turf this year but we’ll take a chance that FOUGERE handles this quicker surface as she was only beaten half-a-length on heavy going here last month. Future Times is looking a bit exposed and so is Obama Army but the top weight has not finished outside of the first two in his last five starts and was only beaten a nose here in April, though is 5lb higher now. Ski Jump disappointed at Pontefract after a third at Beverley.
