Verdict

This does rather look at the mercy of MONSIEUR D'ARQUE, who faces nothing of the quality of either Scarlet Dragon or Elixir Du Nutz, the winners of the two races he's contested so far. Barring accidents, this looks his to lose. Brophies Dollran respectably on her hurdles debut at Warwick and looks second best, and the bronze can be fought out between Our Rockstar, Lucky Lover Boy and Bigchextocash.
  1. Monsieur D'Arque
  2. Brophies Doll
  3. Our Rockstar
