Fencote Belle started favourite here last month but finished tailed off. Quest For Life produced a better run when only finding one too good at Market Rasen while Rubytwo was third at Kelso. French Ticket was second over track and trip in April but only fourth at Kelso subsequently. FRED THE FOOT made good late headway at Punchestown on his debut under Rules. Richard Johnson takes over from an amateur here and the stiff finish should suit. Dijon is a half-brother to five winners on the Flat so any money for John Quinn’s newcomer would probably be significant.
