Verdict

This drop back in trip looks a good move for QUOI DE NEUF, who was seemingly outstayed by the winner when hitting the crossbar over a trip just shy of 3m at Ludlow last time. He remains on a workable mark and promises to be suited by this sharp track. Vision des Flos is holding his form admirably well and is second choice ahead of recent C&D winner Go Steady and Dom of Mary.
