Verdict

This race has a similar dynamic to the opener in the respect that there is a standout contender on form in the shape of FLIC OU VOYOU whose recent third behind Edwardstone & Fiddlerontheroof has been very well advertised with the pair both franking the form since. The selection held smart form prior to that and can get off the mark over hurdles at the second attempt. Fuseau should be thereabout after he offered plenty of promise on his hurdles debut when runner-up to Calva D'Auge who was placed in 'Listed' company last month. Despite a rare below-par effort on his most recent start, Fitzroy is surely capable of better and can get back on track by finishing in the placings.
  1. Flic Ou Voyou
  2. Fuseau
  3. Fitzroy
