Verdict
LIMATO is back for more having made a bit of mess of things at Longchamp last year when sent off favourite. A slow start forced him to come wide of the field in the straight but the winner had got away and he did well to finish second in the end. Henry Candy’s charge beat Suedois to win the July Cup at Newmarket earlier this season and found only Meccas’s Angel too good over a trip too short at York last time. A couple of the home team look dangerous with Spectre dropping back in trip having competed at the highest level over a mile recently and finishing runner-up in the Prix Moulin here last month ahead of Trixia, while Jimmy Two Times was placed in a Group 1 at Deauville in August when ahead of Suedois and Attendu. But Coulsty and Birchwood look to have a bit to find, as does Ed Dunlop’s Same Jurisdiction.
