Verdict

Having a first try at around 3m, RAE DES CHAMPS wasn't seen to best effect when fourth at Newcastle last time, closing all the way to the line having been unsuited by the way the race developed. She's well worth another chance at this sort of trip, so is taken to get the better of The Blame Game who remains well-treated on old form. Sputnik can also go well back over hurdles.
