They are likely to go a good pace here with Hatcher and Red Mix setting the pace with the former of that pair sure to appreciate the ease in grade having been highly tried at Ascot last time finding it hard to dominate a double-figure field. He may be able to get away from them here but he’ll have some useful types strong travelling types tracking him in Capital Force who has picked him off once before round here and COURT ROYALE who would have gone close in a decent novice handicap over C&D last month could well take advantage this time if he jumps a little more fluently in the closing stages. Valseur du Granval has work to do off this mark but his course record means he must be respected.
