        Verdict

        L'Homme Presse was second at Fontainbleau on the second of two starts in France but that was more than two years ago. However, now with Venetia Williams, he looks the only conceivable danger to GETAWAY LUV even though the latter carries 14lb extra having already won at Huntingdon and Ludlow.
