Verdict

PIQUE SOUS is the stand-out performer here and should have few problems gaining his second success. A Leopardstown winner in February, he then finished a very close third to stablemate Champagne Fever in the Champion Bumper at Cheltenham before surprisingly beaten at the Curragh in May. It's likely the ground was too soft in that latter event so he wouldn't want much more rain but he looks in a different class to these rivals. Behrama gained a surprise but easy victory on fast ground at Clonmel in April so she's another who wouldn't want the going to ease. Fairy Court has shown a glimmer of ability but if the going became really testing then Forget The Rest could go well under Jamie Codd.
