Verdict

A tough one to call as SYMPA DES FLOS has already let his supporters down on three occasion and there has to be an amount of reticence about accepting the likely cramped odds on offer. However, this a race lacking many credible alternatives and it may be a case of perseverance paying the best dividend. Schmidt is also going the right way and is likely to give the selection a good deal to think about if he can step things up a notch, while Now Let Go could also go well at a fair price.
  1. Sympa Des Flos
  2. Schmidt
  3. Now Let Go
