Verdict

Stolen Song, Coolfore Jade and Surdoue are three against the field in a tricky race to call and the tentative vote goes to Coolfore Jade who was slightly disappointing last time when fourth behind Spanish Star. However, she was taken on for the lead there and in the hope that she gets an easy time in front here, she is taken to get back on the winning trail. Surdoue rates the main danger on his latest second behind the progressive Fall In Line. He remains on a fair mark and will not be far away. Stolen Song won well last time out when defeating Lampos, but the drop in trip is not sure to suit. Of the remainder, Delta Force looks in the handicapper¿s grip while George Stubbs has not progressed as expected, so for the winner we return to Coolfore Jade
