Verdict

Those to the head of the weights look rather exposed although Papou Tony has gone well on all three starts this year on the all-weather and is of interest if able to transfer his ability to Turf. HARBOUR GREY is a likelier sort though as he could well improve considerably on achievements to date off a fair mark and his last run is easily forgiven. He also drops down in grade here. Madeleine Bond hacked up the last day and now enters handicap company. She could be anything as that was a modest race she but she could not have done it more easily and rates one to follow. Diable d'Or is also considered as he delivered a useful effort over course and distance last time, handles conditions well and inhabits a feasible mark for a yard having a good season.
