14:20 – Fighter Allen

This can be narrowed to three strong contenders. FIGHTER ALLEN is younger, less exposed and more reliable than his stablemate Bacardys. Max Flamingo has obtained useful handicap experience and will not be a pushover for the Mullins pair.

14:52 – Ciel De Neige

Hard to oppose CIEL DE NEIGE who is unbeaten in three runs over fences, even though the race conditions give French Dynamite much the same chance in theory.

15:27 – Western Sea

This is a good chance for WESTERN SEA to add another course win. He’s a consistent sort who has been running well here of late and this is less competitive than some of his recent assignments. Champagne Beauty is feared most after a promising recent comeback run.

16:02 – Micro Manage

This is a relatively straightforward opportunity for MICRO MANAGE to end a sequence of seconds. The form of his latest run reads well, and he should make his experience count against fellow Flat winners Anyonecanhaveitall and La Hacienda. Fanoir has a solid place chance on the basis of his best bumper run.

16:37 – Unexpected Depth (NAP)

It should pay to look beyond the superficially unappealing set of form-figures presented by UNEXPECTED DEPTH (nap). He gets 5lb from Gentlemansgame, whose chance is based on last season’s form and now needs to retrieve that standard with the help of a tongue-tie and cheekpieces. Crosshil should enter calculations too.

17:10 – Pale Blue Dot

It was an improved performance from PALE BLUE DOT last time out and with a less exposed profile than most in here, he could be the one to side with. Champ Royal is another that doesn’t have many miles on the clock and produced a career-best last time. It was an encouraging run from Something Sweet last time and Yulong Voice may have more to give at this trip.

17:45 – Stuzzikini

Not much form to go on and those that have run don’t set a high standard. STUZZIKINI is the obvious one for a yard that has a 22% strike-rate in bumpers this term and this 80,000Euros purchase should go on the expected decent ground. Ah Fuhgeddaboudit and Broomfield Bijou are two more newcomers to keep an eye on in the market.
