Verdict

POUR LA VICTOIRE returned to form with a second at Brighton earlier this month and he can go one better in this opening contest. The selection has won off higher marks in the past including off a 2lb higher mark here last year and is taken to get the better of the in-form Wild Flower who steps up in grade having won at Windsor last time out. The consistent Island Cloud can register another placing by finishing third in this.
  1. Pour La Victoire
  2. Wild Flower
  3. Island Cloud
