Verdict

The winning French chaser Envol De La Cour appears to be attractively handicapped on second start for Michael Scudamore (similar blueprint applied with Caltex at Leicester recently) and he merits a basic market check. Most of those in opposition are fast-advancing in terms of years, yet still performing to a solid level of form with the upped-in-trip Maxed Out King and Frankie Ballou both cases in point. However, with the mud likely to be flying in all directions CASUAL CAVALIER is preferred. He earned due reward for some consistent efforts when idling in front at Catterick last month, and a subsequent 4lb weights rise isn't prohibitive.
  1. Casual Cavalier
