Verdict

EDEN DU HOUX has not progressed as much as expected but may still have too much for his rivals returning from a short break. Although beaten nearly 20 lengths last time out, that was in a Grade 2 event and this is a much easier opportunity. His main rival looks to be Mario De Pail who has progressed through bumpers onto hurdles quite seamlessly. His penalty for winning his last race looks the biggest impediment to him following up though he should run his race. Fidelio Vallis is a slightly unknown quantity but is well regarded and attention should be paid if there is significant market support.
  1. Eden Du Houx
  2. Mario De Pail
  3. Fidelio Vallis
