Verdict

A really intriguing handicap chase with a host holding claims, including FRERO BANBOU. He suggested he's coming to the boil when third behind a most progressive Paul Nicholls' 4-y-o at Newbury a couple of weeks ago and an even bigger effort can be expected here. Editeur du Gite produced a bold front-running display when scoring here last month and is feared, ahead of Notre Pari back at 2m.

  1. FRERO BANBOU (FR)
  2. EDITEUR DU GITE (FR)
  3. NOTRE PARI (IRE)
