Verdict

SEARCHIN' TIMES (9) made it four in a row this time in work when leading and winning by 0.2L over 7 ½f. This is stronger, but she looks right up to this grade on her recent figures and she remains right down in the weights. Drawn the inside and can extend her winning run. RALLY THE TROOPS (5) flew home from the back of the pack to win by 3L at over this trip at Belmont last time out. Back up to this tougher race today, but he'll take plenty of confidence out of that. This looks to set up similarly and he can make his presence felt again. SIMPLY THINKIN' (4) is better than she showed last start when a beaten favourite over this course and distance. CJP hops back in the saddle now after partnering her two starts ago. Can bounce back to her best. SATURDAY SESH (7) wasn't beaten far last time out and can be in the finish again. WEMBANYAMA (6) looks a big improver today third-up and with Pike hopping back on board.
