He should improve from his seasonal return to action and so on this hurdles debut Fest Deiz is respected. So too City Limits despite the fact he is vulnerable to less exposed sorts. The form of the race Full Of Zandre finished fourth in on debut has been let down but it was still a good effort and he cannot be discounted for his powerhouse connections. However, there are two key players in this race on form in the shape of The Echo Boy and OSCAR MONTEL. They are both returning from short breaks but they do take a drop in class and the latter is narrowly preferred given his third behind Sempo and Minella Encore is the strongest form on offer.
