A tricky finale on paper where plenty can be given chances and, on that basis, it might pay to side with the class act in PIQUE SOUS. He went for a run on his own last week down at the start, scuppering chances of a reappearance then but has a familiar friend on board this time and they can score a second C&D win together. Political Policy ran a huge race in that two-miler last Friday and shouldn't be dismissed easily now dropping in trip. Specific Gravity, Song Of Love and Udogo have been battling regularly round here lately and the last-named might just do best of the trio again at this 1m4f trip. Shalaman and hat-trick seeking Duchessofflorence are others worth considering.
1. Pique Sous
2. Udogo
