Verdict

SON OF THE SOMME showed improved form on handicap debut at Doncaster last time and, likely to be sharper for that run, he looks a big player here with a good-value claimer offsetting the majority of his 6 lb rise in the weights. Keeper Chris was still in second place when falling 2 out in the same race, and will be dangerous if none the worse for that, while Fever Roque will remain competitive.

  1. SON OF THE SOMME (IRE)
  2. KEEPER CHRIS (IRE)
  3. FEVER ROQUE (FR)
