Verdict

FRENCH SOUL (2) looks close to a win and ready for the mile again. Had one start at the trip at the end of first campaign and may well have gone over the top. Has been knocking on the door in two runs this time in and looks ready for the extra ground now. DON TURBOAS (1) was a maiden winner two back then ran on hard and just missed at this trip last time. Looks the one they have to beat. FUEL ON THE FIRE (3) is third-up and looks ready to find best. Just missed latest and he will prove hard to beat. THEM'S THE BREAKS (11) has a wide draw but is ready to win and will take some beating. THE LITTLE BAY (7) is better than the last run and can improve sharply.
