Verdict

SAINT DE REVE is built for chasing, and having unseated on his debut in this sphere back in December, got right back on track when runner-up at Wincanton earlier this month. He still looked a bit rough around the edges that day and this longer trip should bring out the necessary improvement. Buster Thomas rates as the chief threat after a short break, ahead of Hes No Trouble and Premiumaccess.
