Verdict

Even More is as game as they come and won¿t be hard to pass, however Nacadour is fancied to atone for his costly error last time out and exact revenge; Iris de Balme looks best of the rest. The selection was immediately pulled up following a bad error 16 days ago and assuming that he is none the worse for that mishap, then he should go well, with the blinkers on once again. This marathon trip should be right up his street and with the promise of more to come, a big run should be on the cards. Mister Apple's is very consistent and whilst he looks high enough in the weights at present, he should be a player after a break to freshen him up. Potts Of Magic is consistent if unspectacular, whilst similar comments apply to Yann's and Amazing Valour. Iris De Balme comes here in good form and needs to be respected but he looks high enough in the weights, whilst Henry's Pride looks the sort to improve for this long trip. Ironside is better than when pulled up on his latest outing but cannot be recommended on the back of that run so we will return to Nacadour to land the spoils.
