Verdict

Hard to see past the pair of progressive three-year-olds in the field and narrow preference is for TAVUS who looked as though this longer trip will suit when getting off the mark at Newbury recently. Road To Paris was a long way clear of the remainder when narrowly failing to follow up his previous win last week and is the obvious danger. Hope Is High likes it here and may do best of the older brigade to make the frame.
