Verdict
DO IT FOR THY SEN has been left on the same mark despite being awarded a race here four weeks ago when the first past the post took the wrong course. Frau Georgia remains out of sorts but the hat-trick seeking five-year-old Line Of Descent is an obvious danger, despite a rising mark, while Gouet Des Bruyeres is back on form and receiving weight all round.
