Verdict
Tagula Night won this in 2014 and is back on a winning mark. But POUR LA VICTOIRE bids for a hat-trick having won with plenty to spare at Brighton last time and Tony Carroll’s charge makes more appeal. Jaywalker is lightly raced and capable of better but Mossgo has won just the once on Turf and that was back in 2012. Smoothtalkinrascal continues to slip down the weights without showing any improvement while Pensax Lad can race off a lower mark on this surface but is 10lb higher than when last successful on Turf.
