Verdict

A tough opener with a host in with a shout. However, the vote goes to REPERTOIRE, who returned to the sort of form he showed in France in his younger days when bolting up at Ascot 9 days ago and, unpenalised for that success, he still looks well-in despite being 5 lb out of the weights. 3-time course winner Revich has plenty in his favour so he's put forward as the main threat, ahead of Boardman and Fools Rush In.

  1. REPERTOIRE
