Verdict

Despite missing the break, C’EST NO MOUR (NAP) breezed to the front in the Amateur’s Derby here last month and was always holding Allegiant in the closing stages. The runner-up is now 2lb better off but Peter Hedger’s charge completed the same double in 2017 and should take all the beating again. Rydan needs further nowadays and Berrahri, who has been on the go for a long time, has also been racing over longer trips. Delph Crescent, on the other hand, has never raced beyond 1m2f.
