Verdict

PLAISIR DES FLOS has thrived since sent handicapping, scoring in impressive style at Ayr last week, and without a penalty for that he can go on to land the 4-timer. Gustoso got off the mark in first-time cheekpieces on his latest outing and could be the biggest threat, with the progressive Tommy Combats completing the shortlist.
