Parc Aux Boules gets the confident vote to send favourite backers home happy with Multahab and Tuscan Flyer rating the main dangers. The selection was a fair ninth in a much better race last time out. The return to this grade looks sure to suit and from a good draw she is taken to get her head in front. Multahab rates the main danger on his latest second behind Amanda's Lad but his best form is over a longer trip and for that reason he is opposed. Tuscan Flyer is another worthy of respect on his latest third behind Fairgame Man he remains on a very attractive mark and should be noted in the market. Of the remainder Clearing Sky won well last time out but will find this tougher under his penalty while Spanish Music has the ability to go close and could bounce back to form in first time blinkers but for the winner we return to Parc Aux Boules looks to have been found her easiest chance to date.
