Verdict

LOUP DE MAULDE is fancied to build on the promise of his Huntingdon reappearance second now the cheekpieces go back on and continue Robbie Llewellyn's fine season. The unbeaten Mt Fugi Park rates a major threat though going into handicaps for the first time with more to offer. Sandown-scorer Havaila is weighted to have a big say while in-form pair Don't Rightly Know and Coco Mademoiselle also need factoring into this highly competitive event.

  1. LOUP DE MAULDE (FR)
  2. MT FUGI PARK (IRE)
  3. HAVAILA (IRE)
