Verdict

There are some really in-form handicappers here but recent winners FRERE FONTAINE and Difficult Decision look the two most likely with the former's win over C&D narrowly giving her the edge. Lightly-raced Fox Le Bel is another worth considering.
  1. Frere Fontaine
  2. Difficult Decision
  3. Fox Le Bel
