Verdict

It's likely that there's further improvement to come from the lightly-raced FAY CE QUE VOUDRAS, who took a step forward back from a 20-month absence when chasing home a useful mare at Uttoxeter. She makes her handicap bow off what looks a workable mark and gets the nod ahead of Asa, who was just touched off on her first run on these shores at Leicester and is armed with a handy weight-for-age allowance now handicapping. Of the others, Sa Alors is one of the more appealing each-way options.

  1. FAY CE QUE VOUDRAS (IRE)
  2. ASA (FR)
  3. SA ALORS (FR)
