Beau Supreme, Lowlander and Made In France look the three to concentrate on in this hunter chase with the confident vote going to Beau Supreme. The selection was a fair third behind Mouseki last time out, that form has since been franked and under similar conditions here he is hard to oppose. Lowlander rates the main danger on his latest fourth behind Provocative, he will relish the faster ground and with his yard in form he should be watched in the market. Made In France was a fair sort under rules at his best but all his best efforts were over a shorter trip. The remainder have shown very little and readily opposed and for the winner we return to Beau Supreme.
