In depth

Verdict

Paul Nicholls has sent out two of the last four winners and ISAAC DES OBEAUX gets another chance. Testing going may have been an excuse for a below par effort here last time having won on a faster surface over track and trip on his earlier debut. He’s preferred to stable companion Don't Tell Su while Fontwell third Two To Tango is a likely improver and makes more appeal than Hour Star. Law Of Supply and Yes Day debut under Rules having both between the flags.
