In depth
Verdict
Tim Vaughan's Josephine Malines has found one too good in each of her last two outings and has every chance at the weights but would probably prefer faster ground and a better bet may be another runner who has finished second in his last two starts, LE BROCQUY. Martin Keighley's gelding has shown that he handles cut in the ground before on the flat and over hurdles and looks worth siding with having run well in his last two starts on faster going. Past Heritage has yet to show that he handles a soft surface, while David Pipe's Quaddick Lake is another that would want the ground to dry out. Sam Cruise has disappointed when encountering ground softer than good and of more interest may be Dianne Sayer's Troodos Jet, who gained a deserved success at Segefield last month and is only 3lb higher in the weights today.
