Verdict

This race looks tailor-made for a progressive sort to come and strike a blow and that could be the case with DAGUENEAU. His second at Ludlow last time suggested this course should play to his strengths and he seems to be learning with experience. Prince Llywelyn represents a powerful combination and the flatter track should also suit better, while the likes of Torn And Frayed and Castle Robin are dropped considerably in class and it will be interesting to see if their recent efforts have left a mark.
