Verdict

CHEF D'EQUIPE looks to have been found a nice opportunity here by Philip Hobbs and this 135 rated chaser shouldn't need to be anywhere near that level to land the spoils even if this ground is something of an unknown. The selection's 17 races are more than his four rivals put together so he has that on his side too. Sign Of War is taken to give the selection most to think about with a step up in trip expected to suit with Soldier Of Love the other with some possibilities.
  1. Chef D'Equipe
  2. Sign Of War
  3. Soldier Of Love
