Verdict

Several in with chances but BELLANEY GEM gets the verdict to break her duck in handicaps having dropped to a handy mark with a first-time visor applied. Fox Le Bel is proving expensive to follow but he's fancied to be on the scene, with Peace Party and Our Dylan another couple worth considering.

  1. BELLANEY GEM (IRE)
  2. FOX LE BEL (FR)
  3. PEACE PARTY (IRE)
