Verdict

AMOUR DE NUIT ran well on his first go over fences for a while at Newbury 5 weeks ago and has strong claims after a 2 lb drop in the weights. Gaelik Coast, behind the selection at Newbury, has a good record at Musselburgh and should fare a lot better this time.

  1. AMOUR DE NUIT (IRE)
  2. GAELIK COAST (FR)
  3. GOLD DES BOIS (FR)
