#1 Yoda’s Choice drops into Class 5 and provides a strong winning opportunity for Frenchman Alexis Pouchin in his first short-term contract ride. The 24-year-old combines with leading trainer Pierre Ng from an ideal barrier 2. #9 Joyful Champion is edging closer to another win, following two consecutive third-place finishes. #5 Precision Goal returned to form last start with a solid on-pace effort, finishing second, and he appears to map perfectly under Zac Purton. #4 Verbier, the pick of Caspar Fownes’ two runners, boasts the stronger form and benefits from a favourable draw in barrier 3 with Hugh Bowman booked to ride.
