Verdict

DEFI SACRE is a very unexposed horse as he enters handicaps and shaped with significant promise here on his UK debut so could very easily prove capable off this opening mark and he gets the nod. At his best Its'afreebee would have hacked up off this mark and although he may not quite be the force of old his flat campaign showed there remains enough ability to go close here. Chebsey Beau hasn't been harshly treated for his Musselburgh win last time out so is another with sound claims.
  1. Defi Sacre
