Verdict
Eclair De Guye hasn’t won for a while but is starting to look well treated. Domaine De L'Isle won over a longer trip here in March but In Rem has been inconsistent over fences so far. Airtothethrone had every chance when falling two out in the race won by To Be Sure at Ffos Las in April while Great D'Ange has been revitalised by a switch of stables but PLANNED PARADISE, who finished well ahead of Concetto when third in the Highland National at Perth in the spring, can make a winning start for new connections.
