Verdict

HAUT EN COULEURS produced another highly likeable display when fifth in the Plate and, as an assured jumper, he strikes as the sort to take to these fences, so he makes the most appeal. Al Dancer and Ashtown Lad have both won here already this term and appear to have been laid out for a big run, so they head the numerous dangers in another fascinating renewal.

  1. HAUT EN COULEURS (FR)
  2. AL DANCER (FR)
  3. ASHTOWN LAD (IRE)
