Verdict

ESPRIT DU POTIER went the right way in bumpers last term, successful twice at Ayr prior to a solid sixth in an Aintree Grade 2 on his final start in April. Appealing as the type to make his mark in this sphere, he could be worth siding with to come out on top with his yard in good form. Last-time-out winners Dutch Schultz and Duleek Street head up the dangers.
