Verdict

PLAISIR DES FLOS found further progress when bringing up the 5-timer on return at Carlisle 3 weeks ago, only needing hands-and-heels riding to see off another upwardly-mobile sort (the pair clear). It's feasible to think the handicapper hasn't caught up with him yet on that evidence and Fergal O'Brien's 5-y-o makes strong appeal again. Double Powerful is of a very similar ilk and he's feared, as is Tune In A Box and Il Va De Soi in an ultra-competitive opener.

  1. PLAISIR DES FLOS (FR)
  2. DOUBLE POWERFUL (IRE)
  3. TUNE IN A BOX (IRE)
