    Verdict

    FRENCH MIX has won twice on the all-weather for current connections since leaving Ireland earlier in the year. She scored over 1m4f at Wolverhampton a week ago and won over today’s trip in February with Attain back in third. Volpone Jelois was back over hurdles last month but has won on the Flat before and the same comment applies to Desert Cross, who scored over 1m6f here last year. Danglydontask has won over 2m at the track but hasn’t raced since November.
