Verdict

Retour En France is a slightly risky proposition given she's fairly inconsistent, but on her best form she deserves to be right in the mix in this competitive contest, while Jetstream Jack is high enough in the weights but could end up proving the class act in this field. Preference, however, is for NET D'ECOSSE. Noel Meade's gelding has been lightly-raced in the past couple of years but was beaten only narrowly at Down Royal last time and if able to repeat that form should go very close indeed here, having shown flashes of great ability on some of his previous starts.
  1. Net D'ecosse
  2. Retour En France
  3. Jetstream Jack
