    Verdict

    Toulouse Express has run well in similar contests in the past but Manoubi continues to frustrate. Panthers Run is very one-paced, while French Ties has been put up 5lb for winning a very modest handicap at Leicester. Nifty Roy doesn't appear the force of old and Janal has failed to complete since scoring at Newcastle last month so the vote goes to SOUL ANGEL. Sandy Forster's charge kept on well for pressure when second at Ayr six days ago and races off the same mark here.
