Elegant Escape (3/1), Run To Milan (10/3), Jerrysback (7/2), Belami Des Pictons (9/2), Aso (9/1), Sir Ivan (11/1), Encounter A Giant (14/1)

Verdict

BELAMI DES PICTONS disappointed at Ascot before Christmas but he showed plenty of ability remains after a long absence when fourth at Bangor and is worth another chance to build on that off what remains a potentially handy mark. This does look very competitive though, with the dangers headed by the very lightly-raced Encounter A Giant, who looked potentially smart when last seen over 2 years ago.

  1. BELAMI DES PICTONS (FR)
  2. ENCOUNTER A GIANT (IRE)
  3. RUN TO MILAN (IRE)
