JOYEAUX caught the eye on his latest outing and is taken to go one better at the expense of Killer Class and Chosen One. The selection finished a decent second to Solemn at Nottingham last time out. He looks potentially well treated on his bets form and with luck in running he will not be far away come the business end of the race. Killer Class is another that has dropped in the weights and runs off the same mark as she did when winning at Ayr back in August. She ran with promise on her latest start at Musselburgh so any market moves should be noted. Chosen One is still only lightly raced and continues to improve with race experience. He ran well after finishing fourth of sixteen at Nottingham last time out and another bold bid can be expected. Joyeaux comes into the race in fine form and looks the percentage call.
