There was plenty to like about PUNCHES CROSS win over C&D last month, travelling well during the contest before asserting in the final 100yds to win under hands and heels, at the fourth time of asking for connections. Arvico Bleu, for inform trainer/jockey combination of Henry De Bromhead and Rachael Blackmore can emerge as the biggest danger, while Paul Nolans, Quamino and Dakota Moirette are worth another check following last time out hiccups.
