    Verdict

    Indefatigable chased home Lady Buttons in this grade at Wetherby before a fine run under a big weight in a mares’ handicap at Cheltenham. She will be fancied to go one better here but Silver Forever is interesting stepping out of novice company and upped in trip after getting outpaced at Newbury. Fleur Irlandaise has done well since arriving from France in October and Copper Gone West is back on track but we’ll take a chance on the fitness of CAP SOLEIL. Little went right last season for Fergal O’Brien’s mare but she was second in the Dawn Run in 2018 having won over this trip earlier. On that form, she could be some value.
